Private investment is very existent, and creates demand itself (investing in new equipment requires suppliers be paid etc.).

all the silly notions that taxes or regulations will prevent it

The idea that taxes or regulations (except perhaps the crazy possible extremes of each) will prevent private investment is silly. The idea that they will reduce and distort it is simple common sense, as well as fitting economic theory and history.
