This isn't an argument. It's just fence sitting, so that whomever wrote it can appear to be on whichever side he wants.
In a perfect world, you wouldn't need government. But you'd still have trade.
Government is the problem that creates the corrupt billionaires. You're either for freedom or you're not. Stop fence-sitting it's gross.
yes in a perfect world. but this world is not perfect. until Kingdom comes.
Government is the problem that creates the corrupt billionaires.
I would say "too much government" creates the problem. In that I am minarchist and pro-free market, not 'pro-business' as there is a difference between the 2.
Government is necessary because men can be greedy corrupt asshats. The more asshattery there is, the more government the people themselves will demand in order to maintain order. Tyranny is 99.9% of the time preceded by degradation of morals and culture.
So I would argue it is morals that must be upheld and enforced by the culture and force of law. Deviants SHOULD be ostracized, bullied, and shamed.
Hence the self-destructive loop when moral degradation begins; the people turn to that which will bring greater moral degradation until absolute tyranny. The tyranny typically finds a way to obliterate itself in time, but the damage is done; those who survive pick up the pieces and the cycles starts over again. The longer moral degradation can be avoided, and the more people directly fight the degradation instead of playing into the cycle, the longer a society/government/etc. will be sustained.
