The very essence of government is corruption. It is simply the mafia with an indoctrination program that teaches kids to believe that it isn't evil.
- regularfry 16y agoThe essence of a free market relies on the enforcement of property and contract laws, which requires government enforcement. The alternative is local fiefdoms run by robber barons, and we know that doesn't work. Government is the worst way of regulating and enforcing a free market, except for everything else that's been tried.
