During the course of my 67 years I've seen incredible improvements in the material comforts available to the average shmuck. My kids enjoy amenities unimaginable in my youth, let alone to my parents, or theirs, ad infinitum.
Those improvements are thanks to invested capital seeking my, and others, business; winning when they satisfy, losing when they don't. The government has a proper, though very limited role, in facilitating that discovery process. Government coercion can shift allocation of scarce resources, but several centuries of experience indicate the result will seldom, if ever, be superior.
You are not paying attention. "Government coercion" as you call it is an element in every single business transaction.
During my almost 60 years I've also seen a lot of improvement. Why has the US improved more than most other countries (and some would say less than others)? It is something inherently superior in the US population, a population of immigrants and descendants of immigrants? Or is it our superior government?
Spend a day paying attention to the infrastructure your business uses every single minute of every day. All provided by government. Without the superior US governments you wouldn't have a business. |
