                  As far as I know this has nothing to do with natural rights (I'm fond of talking about them because I do philosophy) and everything to do with attempting to predict what will happen if taxation became voluntary. I thought attempting to predict the future was half of economics.



                  Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say except to disagree that government owned industries are necessarily worse than private ones.


                  There, that should raise a few laughs and perhaps some howls of outrage.



                  And Ted, I wouldn't bet on your claim.

                          It depends on your definition of worse. By most financial measurements they are worse. The cause being that government industries are run for political objectives not financial ones. But if your objective function is job creation, than maybe you can make an argument. I still think there are better ways to achieve social objectives though. Welfare and such.

                              Exactly... and they are one and the same. Because they are political they do a good job creating jobs. Of course, a great many of the jobs are useless to create (massive hidden unemployment in the government).

                              But it does depend on whether you value efficiency or job creation (though they don't have to be at opposites... just in the government ).

                                I know the exact type. I bet she has good circulation.
