Governments have three duties; to protect the lives of citizens, to protect the liberty of citizens, and to protect the prosperity of citizens. The government should provide free healthcare for citizens as a civic duty; they should not however have any control over the automobile industry or banks. A direct link cannot be made between any of the duties of government and the control of industry.
