    The private sector and the government are not supposed to do the same things. The government should represent the public good and protect citizens from the excesses of the private sector. We should strive to live in a society that makes everyone happy and healthy. If the actions of the private sector are not serving that end, then the government should intervene to correct it.

    Citizens who do not support the mere notion of government are forfeiting their best chance to ensure a world that works for their shared common interests as members of the public.

      Yes, the government should add some rules to the private sector, not fund their monopolies like they seem to do

      People who support corporate hegemony and anarcho-capitalism are boot-licking authoritarianism. They are distracted by daydreams that they will be micro-authoritarian feudal lords and not the serfs being crushed under the corporate boot.
