39. Sports analogy: Democrats believe that government should be a fair referee
of the competing interests between buyers and sellers, workers and employees, etc. Republicans believe that the referee should work for the team willing to pay them the most money.

Liberterians believe there should be no referee and that the side with the most power should make the rules. The outcome is the same as Republicans would have. The richest and most powerful interests would eventually dominate.
