'Leave me alone" crapitalism.
I get sick of people saying 'government doesn't have the right to tell  me what to do'. I say 'government' is representative of our collective  needs. It is us. It helps maintain the common compact. Without a common  compact, then I can sell heroin, young girls, toxic products, raise pigs  in my yard and dump their shit in the street. I can steal your car,  your wife, your child or burn your house down and what are YOU gonna do  about it? Shoot me? I have more guns. Let's see these 'leave us alone'  idiots get along without public energy, sewage, clean water, clean air  standards, educated workers, pothole repair, bridge and other  infrastructure maintenance etc. When someone says 'those lazy asses  don't deserve X" in reference to poor, unemployed or elderly, ask how  they would react when those people in need revert to theft, cooking  meth, or other ways to 'survive'. Who ya gonna call then? the local  militia? But then...the local militia would have to be organized, led,  and reliable...sounds like government to me. Or would we all just buy  our services from Haliburton, or police and fire from Blackwater?
