Yes or no ? Freedom or slavery ?

Suppose that there was a button in front of you that if you pushed it would, in one instant, abolish all the governmental controls and regulations on the U.S. economy. Would you push that button, and transform America into a society of free men associating with each other on the basis of voluntary exchange, with government limited to protection of life, liberty and honestly acquired property?

(the question above was an excerpt from an article I did not write, but thought the question would encourage some discussion)

Have at it.

Minarchist wants to abolish gov't or limit it? I think you just want to privatize it.

You think you'll have a market of privatized goods with out gov't?

Look no further than Furguson to see why we have police. We have police to keep the old system in place, if gov't is abolished, you will no longer have capitalism. How long do you think it would be before the Furguson riots reach your city and the poor just loot food?

I'm all for it, but it won't go the way you think it will.

The op has government in a limited role for protection of life, liberty and property.
I believe that is what our fore fathers intended in the first place.

if that is what you believe, then why did they want the government to deliver mail as well?

I said I didn't write the article, nor did I express my opinion on how or if I would orchestrate it.

Thanks for expressing your opinion.
