> The question is, do you think US Government on all levels is efficient enough to be trusted with even more jobs/resources to manage? And if it's not, what the people of us should actually do to make it happen? Instead we're ruled by large, monopolistic corporations that have so much power they can avoid paying taxes, pay off almost any politician and basically set any policy that they want. I'll never understand why people are fine with our current system. I think your comment is basically neoliberlism in a nutshell. Let the market decide, right?

> I'll never understand why people are fine with our current system. They are fine because the system operates at a level they cannot see, at least in most Western "democracies". It is also very preferable over dictatorships, arbitrary monarchies, harsh serfdom, feudal setups, Soviet style communism, access based capitalism such as in India, etc. They have to find a way to get Joe Cubicle-Farmer producing for 40 years; doing it this way keeps away chaos and blood.
