I gave you an example: TODAY. Any wealth and prosperity TODAY is due to the small freedoms the market has found to be FREE of government. Government creates nothing, it can only do harm. People succeed in SPITE of it.
Also God the Father and His son Jesus Christ are very much alive.
You are an idol worshiper with the State as your god. You pray and do penance, give thanks and praise. You are a religious zealot and have accepted being a slave to other men.
How about you tell me how the government contributes or enables the wealth and prosperity TODAY?
Wrong. You cannot give any examples of where wealth and prosperity exist independent of the security and rule of law that government provides.
Government creates the basis upon which free enterprise can have the confidence to invest and create. Without government and rule of law free enterprise is limited to crude and limited investment because it lacks the security of rule of law and the ability to enforce contracts consistently.
I am a realist and certainly do not see government as an ultimate authority but rather as an essential part of the human organisational structures required to maximise wealth and security.
Your blind and blinkered faith in 'free markets' ignores their need for a secure environment of law and security upon which to thrive. Without the complex and difficult problem of government solved and provided 'free markets' incapable of functioning well. You Libertarians put the cart before the horse.
But hey, look out of any window and show me a single example of a wealthy and sustained economy where there was or is no government underpinning it and prove me wrong...
What do you want me to do for you? This (Libertarian ideology) is all a dream.
