Let's start with one easy point for you to not get. The state is not
competing with most private individuals. It is providing most private
individuals with opportunities to make a living both directly and
indirectly.

You had better rephrase that question. It can't be answered 'yes' or
'no', but anything more complicated would lose you before the end of the
first sentence.

Oh, no. Good question, though. You can understand the answer.

You're either a fool because you don't know better even after all this
time, or you're a liar because you do know better but you're posting
lies. Fool or liar, Andelman. Which is it going to be?

You're too incompetent to say what is deadwood and what isn't. As an
example, you don't even know what I do for a living. As far as you know
I'm part of a venture capitalist outfit looking for the right guy to
support with a $5M payroll. You are the intellectual deadwood here.
Whether I am or not, well, you're in no position to say.

Tell you what - list the major civilizations that have been
confederations, or have not had strong central governments. Egypt,
perhaps? No, that doesn't work. I'll give you some help....no, on
second thought, I won't.
