I am very militantly for small Government and market forces can replace the Government in basically everything except the military, intelligence, and local roads.
I strongly favor a very large number of "small" businesses. They have always been the bedrock American Democracy. And I just as strongly believe that the American Democracy can not exist when a very small number of "very big" business interests get financial control of the political and media systems. From there they control everything - the executive, the legislative and eventually the judicial system. Millions of small business people used to make millions of political contributions. Now, the contributions that control the system come from an ever smaller number of collosal business entities such as Walmart, Goldman and Arthur Anderson.
I would agree with your view of market forces, if they were forces generated by a competitive market of small businesses. However, when the market forces are generated in a market of ever shrinking collosal businesses, then at some point they become oligopoly market forces and eventually monopoly market forces. Under this scenario, oligopoly and monopoly market operations appproach those of government.
I do not believe the House of Windsor runs everything thats tinfoil crap with little evidence they can't even select women who will keep their affairs out of the press. The House of Saud has a lot of influence of Bush's father but they don't control much else besides terrorist networks think of them like a sociopathic version of the Clampett's.
The House of Windsor is one of the better known Monarchies, but it is merely the window dressing, the distraction (like race issues and lardbrick issues) to focus interest away from the real target, which includes old world money, oil and drug cartels. Like religion, the "tin foil crap," as you call it, can no more be proven or disproven than the existance of God. In the end, one has to observe the order in the world around them, and then one must make assumptions based upon their experiences and educational knowledge. My decisions are based upon my observation that money is the driving force behind most decisions. Big money becomes a lifelike entity which must grow and survive at all costs. Big money easily replaces religion, patriotism and individual/national survival issues. From my observation, there is no limit to what big money will do to perpetuate itself. Tin foil - maybe. Corporate monarchy - it is just a matter of identifying them.
" A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship." -Alexander Tyler
If you look at the History big Government tends to encourage big buisness more than discourage it. Small buisness would do better with smaller Government( they are less well equipped to deal with the red tape and taxes after all).
