"You are correct, theoretically there is no such thing as a free market because business relies on gov't and gov't relies on business in a unholy alliance."

No business relies on the government, unless otherwise they would not be competitive. Therefore, only the businesses that support bigger government and more regulations are the ones that would otherwise not offer a service or product that would be accepted in a free market. You seem to think this is good for business.

You are correct that the government relies on business. If the business world ever decides to shrug, then we would live in the government regulated heaven you so desire!

Yes they do. Without govt', every transaction would be dependent on the power of the individual to enforce. It quickly becomes a system of might makes right.

We need gov't to create property and protect property rights. We need gov't to provide a framework in which transactions occur and provide the methods of enforcing.

Pure libertarianism is chaos and business cannot thrive in chaos.
