  1. A company that has to market a service, skim a profit from a service, be regulated by government offices and court system is not more efficient and cost effective. The more capitalism we have, the more government is required to maintain it. Which means more prisons, courts, regulators, inspectors, and laws/regulations to manage it. Eventually people will wake up to this paradox and understand that government and the private sector are co-dependent and that real change requires new paradigms.

  2. Understand that the most corrupt governments in the world are mostly small giovernments... There are many many corrupt third world countries. Since the founding of this country and every country in the world the issue has and always will be EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT. Claiming "size" is related to corruption is propoganda playing on people's emotions. A small government is just as corruptable as a large government. Money buying government influence is a market mechanism not a democratic one.
