Quote by: Domino  It is true that government is not purely a regulatory body: it has many other functions, and has taken it upon itself to declare people members from birth.
It is also true that a free market is no longer possible: the economy has appropriated all available resources, to the point that one can no longer choose not to participate. A free market requires voluntary actions as its basis, but our market is now the only source of food, property, and other essentials, so participation is mandatory, and what should have been a voluntary interaction becomes a limited choice with a forced deadline. |
There are still some very remote but livable places (interior Alaska, for example) that one could live in and never be bothered by other people or government.
But for any reasonably populated place you are correct.
That does not legitimize government regulation, though.
