Name the private company in this (or any country that can: Do food inspection Do police Do fire Department Do education Build and maintain roads Regulate and inspect buildings and codes Build and maintain airports Control air traffic Fight wars Negotiate treaties Deliver water Private companies have been contracted out to do all of these things, including war, and usually better. No some of it is not common, police work is usually limited to security, but they have hired firms to do police work as far back as hunting down Butch Cassidy and the Kid. They did a better job than the government, in part because they could track them down in Bolivia. Lots of small airport control towers are run by controllers that work for a contractor for example. There is an contractor outfit in Iraq that does much of the fighting. Most airports are not built and maintained by the government. Private schools are better than public. Contractors are hired to regulate and maintain building codes, etc, etc. I'd say the government does worse in every item.
