I do not seem to have been clear enough. I'm not asking for examples of how government is inefficient, or asking how "the people" might do an injustice. I'm asking about economic theory and why it is less legitimate, in some peoples minds, to force "ABC Corp" to not sell lead paint covered toys though the rule of law? If it is the will of the market that "ABC Corp" not endanger the health of the public, why must the market wait for the damage? Why is it not right and good that the people be free to exert their will on the market through legislation?


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
