I think the biggest source of confusion about "the free market" is that it means everybody can do whatever they want. Corporations , if deregulated, would still have respect personal rights. If they did not, then the government would invoke its' legitimate authority to protect its' citizens.
ReplyDeleteA corporation cannot take away your freedom to speak, to practice religion, to walk around in your underpants, to smoke dried plants, etc. That is because only the government is authorized to use force or deprive people of property. In order to take away people's rights, the corporations must control the source of violence. The railroads in the 1800s were only able to seize people's property (eminent domain) by using the legitimacy of government force.
The bigger and more centralized a bureaucracy becomes, the more corruptible and inefficient and inaccessible to the people it becomes. Does 'Mr. Smith' have a better chance of being elected to Town Hall, or the US Congress?
Libertarianism is not about No Government, in which corporations, or anybody with a gun/pointy stick, could run amok. It is about a government that protects us from violence and fraud.
If James Madison thought we needed a 20 volume book series entitled "Constitutional Law" he would have written just a few more pages I think. The constitution is as short and simple as it is for a reason and it is through the bureaucracy of the Judicial branch that the Constitution has become "elastic." Gadzooks, amend it if needed, but don't stretch it! (I only bring that up because I feel that people don't direct enough blame towards the courts.)
