Just think how inefficient it is to have people going out looking for thier own jobs. Surely there must be a better way.
Exactly! If I were a commie, fascist or some other sort of statist, I would imagine that someone else owes me a job. I realize that nobody owes me a job, so I weighed the pain of job-hunting against the pleasure of quitting a job I didn't like, and decided to stay. Instead I conducted a much lower-paced job hunt, taking almost a year, while keeping the hated job. When a better job came along, I took it--and I've been quite happy in it for a few years now.
How far we've come from the days of Teddy Roosevelt, who demanded the return of an American, alive, or the man who grabbed him, dead.
I certainly agree with this boast in principle: if my day comes to be killed, I certainly hope my kill ratio exceeds 1:1 before I go. However, you are essentially falling back on the child's cry for paternalism: Look out world! Teddy Roosevelt, the Great White Father, will kick your @sses if you touch me! Defend yourself, wuss. Don't hide behind some big bully who, by the way, robs me to pay for your much-vaunted protection.
