No coercion is a recipe for failure. But the root cause for failure has broader scope -- failures are caused by not having enough government. Not only because government can provide the essential coercion, but because government can accomplish the real objective of making it so big failure is not an option. Someone posted this on the health care thread yesterday, and it just seems so prescient: "This bill so comprehensively wrecks private health insurance that pretty soon a "public option" will seem like the only alternative, and they will already have put into place one of the new taxes needed to pay for it. If the left's goal is to impose socialized medicine in America, this bill does it in the most callous and destructive way possible. It smashes private health care-then leaves us stranded in the rubble, at which point we will be expected to come crawling back to the same people who caused the disaster and ask them to save us." - Robert Tracinski, December 10, 2009.
