How about the concept of freedom? Am I, as a human being on this planet free? In that context, shouldn't I be able to exercise my option to make choices such as whether I want to use a government-sanctioned transportation service or pay an equally free individual for transportation services. Both kinds of services get to make me an offer and I chose, not government, I. If the government-sanctioned service is so good surely I will chose that service over anything else that might be offered. I am sick and tired of government restricting my options because they think they know what is good for me. More often than not government has the opposite effect, on that can be highly destructive over the long term and one filled with individuals making decisions out of utter ignorance and a need to control, not serve. Freedom.
