'the invisible hand'... didn't a french guy come up with that? Bastiat or something?

I agree with you... but even the civil courts can be privatized (binding arbitration) and we definitely need to stop forcing people onto juries... the jury becomes involuntary servants while innocent but the accused is innocent until proven guilty.

And of course, if we had a small Constitutional government there will be many more positions open for private security personnel, at better pay. That will help cut down on crime and allow us to maybe trim off a few cops from the payrolls in the big cities.

of course that one is a ways off even if we do get a flat tax and small government...

People may have to learn capitalism all over again.

I don't know if I made it clear but I think that regaling in an eviction is pretty dismal business.

and you're kidding about the 'invisible hand' question, right? Please tell me you are. This whole thread is a big joke right? It is, isn't it?
