So you're happy with no parks then. Civilised areas will not have any green space, because it is not profitable. I don't know who you think would be able to buy a park and rent it out as a park, because that's flat out unprofitable. Inevitably the park would disappear.
Small food businesses would hire the spots within the park. If the business tax is bellow 10% then there is a good chance a lot of people will decide to become self-employed.
This "Welfare State" you speak of, with the income earners paying "high taxes to subsidise the unemployed," this is the only alternative you see to laissez-faire capitalism and the privatization of all public space? I say you have a limited imagination.
No personal attacks please, I would like to think that we are both above that sort of thing.
But while we're talking about your imagination, what is so special about the police or the military that they should be supported by taxation? Why shouldn't we just have private security forces for our cities, and anyone who can't afford police just doesn't get them?
What are you on about? The external and internal security forces of the country have to be kept in public hands lest they are abused by private enterprise.
And why was it so predictable that you'd say "Police, Military and Roads," and that you didn't even think of Hospitals or Schools?
Hospitals and schools as well as social and medical welfare would be privatized. Since people are paying less income tax and since the there would be competition among the hospitals and schools, there is a good chance that most if not all people would be able to afford it.
Also, in your society, who decides to what use we put the military? Is it the same as now, the Capitalists, to defend their overseas operations and to occasionally subdue labour movements? Or do you imagine that in a corporate-run limited government,
As a libertarian, I am opposed to any violence perpetrated onto civilians by and government organizations. Small businesses would prosper because of the small business tax. There would be corporations but there would also be a lot of family and individually run businesses so the government wouldn’t be controlled by the corporate ‘elite’.
the military would be used only in the case of invasion by a foreign power? Because history disagrees.
Exactly. If the military budget is cut enough then the military wouldn’t be able to afford a foreign war and also keep the country safe. Since there would be relaxed gun laws (since we do believe in individual freedom) it would be easy for the official military to organize militias.
I wonder too in a world with no body external to corporations and the military, how we would ever respond to corporations making an environment too toxic for human life? It took decades for non-partisan scientists finally to get the lead out of gasoline; in your dream world they never would have. Just to name one example.
Your confusing privatization with corporate takeover. Of course there would be regulations and laws against pollution and bio crimes against the populace. Though it is interesting why you believe that the police and courts would not be able to enforce the law since they would be government funded.
