(37,457 posts)After all, the military is mainly there to protect against invasion. Not domestic threats but I guess that's been going by the boards in the last 15 years or so.
The police can't be everywhere at once and hey, that's a government service.
With no cops to protect businesses, there would be looting and vandalism and theft on a vast scale.
So the private sector is going to educate all the workers ? As in 17th century style ? I'm not so sure how well businesses would do with that, beyond agriculture.
Yes, I think business people (and I've been a business owner myself) should keep the fruits of their labors but they need to pay taxes like the rest of us. For all those "non-essential" government services. Like the cops. Like the military. Like roads. The list goes on.
