I hold a number of patents of my own.

I certainly think protecting lives and property are essential parts of government.

Unfortunately there are lots of issues in the details. God didn't hand us any of the details, nor did the Founding Fathers. We have to work those out on our own.


And.....we do not have a free market in the U.S. and nor do we have capitalism. For all the talk of the failure of capitalism, what we have seen is the failure of government intervention

Too bad we can't run the experiment over a couple of times. 1) With no governmental intervention during the implosion, and 2) with better regulation during the bubble. It would be an interesting contrast and I suspect it would nicely show how dead wrong your above claim is.
