The concept that Government should be part of the solution has been proven to be false in every situation that the Government has been asked to be part of the solution. There is overwhelming evidence that the more involved the Government gets the more expensive and less efficient the solution to the problem becomes, and still people keep saying that the Government should part of the solution.If you look at the damage done to the environment by countries around the world you can't help but notice that the larger and more regulatory the Government is the more widespread and severe the damage to the environment.It is very easy to ask the Government to do what you "The People" are too lazy to do yourself, like protect your environment, clean up your trash, conserve energy, and take care of your own health.

The number and size of the variables is astounding when trying to calculate future population. It has been shown that as people rise above poverty level their population growth lowers, (the rich have fewer babies than the poor).

Then they will be producing more than they consume and they will be too busy and too educated to contribute to a population explosion. On the other hand Islam may succeed in stopping the spread of capitalism and the world would be awash with men with several wives and dozens of children. The only way to feed the world is to teach the world to work together through capitalism and free trade. … Read More

Physical security and political freedom do not always coexist. "We the People" repeatedly ask the Government to provide physical security and the Government eventually uses that request to strip us of our freedom, or at least our money.There is only one common good, Unregulated Freedom.
