Capitalism Cures Poverty

You're reading too much into Muh Roads, Kath (All the while willfully ignoring all the links to actual economists and other kinds of stuff I've put up for you.). Muh Roads is something of an allegory for exploding the myth that there are certain things that only Unca Sugar can provide us.

Too stupid.

Where did roads come from Fife?
And why, when we look at the few remaining people who have no contact with the outside world, do they have no roads?

This really is beyond the pale in terms of being a ridiculous argument.

Just because roads are a byproduct of civilization
(division of labor), which exists solely under the
providence of a centralized government, doesn't
mean you NEED government to have roads! I mean,
private companies can build roads (in lands
protected by the military of a centralized government).
And in the future we might be able to genetically
engineer ants to build and pave roads for us (in high tech
labs operating safely within the boundaries of centralized
government).

I'm genuinely interested in hearing how some think the United States can work without any government at all. If only someone around here thought taxation was theft, and could speak to how we care for the commons without money. If only.....

Who are they? I don't see any around here.

I haven't seen any statists around here, either.

If vehicle fueled by oil and corn subsidies. Base parts of the car made with more subsidies, plus transported around the globe with state infrastructure. Workers’ wages manipulated by the banksters.
