Hey Archie, if you want to give credit then give it where it is due. Tell me what govt could accomplish if it weren't for the hard work and accomplishments of taxpaying citizens? Answer: NOTHING! And remember Archie, just look at how much govt has outsourced to private companies that have been way more efficient and effective at providing services to the general public, for example drinking water (do some research on US Filter and its competitors), wastewater treatment (numerous companies) and so on. When govt gets out of the way and provides the proper incentives it can work.

The fact is govt can do nothing without the power to take money from the productive at a point of a gun. But as I have said on many occasions, and you refuse to listen to me because you prefer to hold onto your prejudices, there is a proper role for govt and it is limited. And there is a proper place in society for that govt role and it should follow the ideal of subsidiarity, i.e., as much as possible at the local level and as little as possible at the federal level.
