The government does have a role in preventing the agressive use of force by one party upon another and fraud is an agressive use of force.

The government also has a constitutional mandate to prevent slavery operating under the guise of contract or debt. See the 13th Amendment.

I'm not talking about what the United States Government is allowed to do under the Constitution. I'm talking theory here. Sheesh!

Oh look, it's more sophistry from Roscoe, sure as the sun rises in the morning. Do you even know what "under the guise" means? If the contract was signed in good faith, it doesn't even qualify for the definition you're waving around.
