I will actually allow that there is SOME truth to the statement, but only in a negative way. If the genius entrepreneur is born in North Korea, he likely won’t be able to use his ability. This doesn’t say anything marvelous about governement, except to the degree that it protects people from violence allowing them to make the most of their lives.
Such a government must be kept lean and narrow, or it will become the perpetrator of violence.
A government has the power to allow excellence, but lives for every opportunity it has to destroy it.
Yes and some sing the praises of Slick Willy and tell me how great the economy was under the Slickest of all Willies. I generally respond that the only good thing about Willy is that he actually didn’t do much. As I have heard before the best thing about government is that you DON’T get all that you pay for. We now have an occupant who wants to give us all that we pay for and then some and the more he tries to do the closer we are to oblivion. When we get ALL the government we pay for we will no longer be able to pay attention, let alone anything else.
