[quote=Leorocky]Yep. Governments are not “capital”. Of course the response will be that public workers are the best and brightest and that public employers are graciously offering the guarenteed raises and overly generous pensions and arent forced to bargain with them.
These people never wonder what happens when the “labor” becoames as or more powerful than the capital – they just view it as theirs to take.
I never realized that in America I could invent a great product or service, work to develop it, convince a bank to loan me money (along with my own hard eanred money), start an actual company, employ people but then be forced to share “power” with them. Truly fascinating, err…..[/quote]
Great ideas are nice, but you would have a very difficult time starting a business (much less succeeding) without the social, educational, financial, military, legal, and physical infrastructure that *taxpayers* pay for.
If you want to get all the rewards, you should have to take ALL of the risks, and that would include having your creditors own you for life if your venture failed…no BK protection or limited liability protection in a country without taxes and government.
