Especially since he has, by his account, successfully navigated the economic environment provided by government and built/managed businesses. I can understand a business owner or manager having ideas and opinions on how government can improve the lot of business and workers. But if your ideas start with the removal of government altogether, you really must have more than just 'my solution to crime is to not commit crime.'
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
