Government Has No Incentive To Prevent Crime

Wow. Excellent troll miles for a thread. You guys have been piling on, and he's nowhere to be seen.

Okay, the government wants crime because they don't get money for stopping it? Are you just completely ignorant of the gigh costs of prisons: maintaining them structurally, paying the staff, keeping the inmates contained and alive, in addition to legal fees?

Are you nuts?

Right, but the government does not pay for that- the government does not have any money. It's in trillions of dollars of debt, all the money they spend is in debt, taken from future generations, printed, or taken from the tax livestock.

You are making the mistake of mixing up the government; a violent monopoly. With the characterisation of an actual voluntary company. If the government was like a company, it would of collapsed thousands of times already. But because they can initiate violence, they simply are not bound by moral or economic constraints, they do whatever, because they can take from others.

Proof that companies/industries can "initiate" violence and also some companies don't embrace egalitarian or altruistic values, since you seem to "think" that all industry is altruistic. Without a government, these companies would not be held accountable for their atrocities. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ind..._disasters
