[quote=zk][quote=sdduuuude][quote=zk][quote=sdduuuude] The structure of government where they take your money and tell you what to do is destined to fail every time, even if you get to vote.[/quote]
Am I mistaken, or is that all governments? Even “small” ones?[/quote]
You are not misaken.
Bigger (higher % of GDP is govt spending) is worse, though.[/quote]
So you’re saying all governments are destined to fail.
But if it takes several hundred years or more to fail (which in many cases it has), then you can’t really say that it was necessarily an inherent fault in the nature of the system. There are no human systems (on the scale of a government, anyway – even the smallest one) that won’t fail at some point, if you give them five hundred years. That’s not necessarily because said system was fatally flawed. Circumstances change. Other countries invade. Humans screw things up. Anything can happen.[/quote]
Any government that makes too many decisions for it’s people, other than restricting coercive behavior, yes. An interesting topic for another thread.
