Oh do they? 2. ... 3. Yes, a government can easily be overthrown and changed, but the people remain the same. 4. Yes well, given that we have nationalized industries, it doesn't give us too many abilities to export our services to other nations. Thus we are forced to limit our services to domestic causes. 5. And practically anyone with money can start a business. Selling oranges on the street is a business and actually does make money. Free-market paradise even aids the poor, much to your apparent dismay. Heheh. 6. Still not full privitization. |
