It would be a waste of time to give you a simple lesson in economics, but in a sentence or two, there is a vast difference between anarchy and a limited constitutional republic such as what was set up with the founding of the United States, flaws and all. Taxes and regulations and government meddling and edicts didn't build the wealth of this country, freedom did... The proper role of government is to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, and that includes economic rights. What we have today is an ever increasing, gargantuan behemoth of a government that's crushing the life out of this country. We're living on borrowed time.. It won't end well..

No wars and random violence does not equal, or help create free markets. A the rule of petty warlords and competing Islamacist leaders does not equal freedom and isn't positive for markets.

I'd say ignorance is bliss however you are clearly an angry liberal loon... Free market = everyone for themselves.... ROTFLMAO ! Go read Steve Jobs book.... Free to succeed or to fail and (SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT) there's no pictures or random acts of violence with guns.

"I think the Caribbean countries face rising oceans and they face increase in the severity of hurricanes. This is something that is very, very scary to all of us. The island states in the world represent - I remember this number - one-half of 1 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. And they will - some of them will disappear." Steven Chu "To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest." Dr Stephen Schneider - in interview for "Discover" magazine, Oct 1989 "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H.L. Mencken "You could have protected the wealthy and the well, instead of recognizing that sick people tend to be poorer and that poor people tend to be sicker and that any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, MUST redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is, by definition, redistributional." Donald Berwick Obama Medicare Czar
