DavidWong posted... government intervention in economics = bad news the idea of the "state" existing who provide healthcare, roads, police, hospitals, courts and that's all = good time for all There doesn't have to be a state to allocate those resources. Does the state or federal government tell your local fire department how to operate? No, they just give them money to do so. A local fire station operates on its own - likely with a bureaucracy, but it could just as easily operate as a democratic institution. Yes, but the citizens paying taxes to a central government who then allocates those funds to the states based on need is better than having the state with the most citizens immediately having the most money. That will still happen of course, but my way, funds are more fairly allocated and the states are given all they need rather than hoarding money. Let the government hoard money and allocate out to states when needed, rather than states hoarding money and not providing to other states who will need it. of course, my way requires a totally fair and impartial federal government to succeed --- When goods do not cross borders, soldiers will.
