"Dae , I hear you and have said many times that I 'm not a Laissez Faire type guy . My point was that the ability to accumulate capital ( personal property ) is the reason that the US is the country it is today . Sure there 's a place for the govt . in ANY system , including this one . However , the reason our country has done so well , for so long and the reason we 're so productive as workers is the fact that we have a right to participate in the system and accumulate wealth . Yes , the govt . will be needed to provide certain services . Yes , it is necessary to have rules , taxes , and a govt . to provide security and facilitate trade and etc ... I 've never said any different . However , there 's a difference between saying that and saying that everything good has come through the govt . That 's not true and if it was the USSR ( or Germany ) would rule the world today . The private sector is what drives the govt . and the economy . Without the Private Sector , there would n't be any govt . or tax money or tax payers to fund all the wonderful things that the govt . does . But too much govt . and the private sector whithers and with it , the govt . as well ."
"I think you undervalue the combination of poor immigrants and vast untapped natural resources as it pertains to our success ."
