Debate: Can government create jobs and wealth?
Side: No

I'm not sure how many times I'm going to have to go through this, or how long it's going to take before the anarchists realize no one agrees with their crazy views and stop annoying everyone in forums.Unfortunately, the minority (anarcho-capitalists) are at the mercy of majority's incompetence (liberals and progressive conservatives).But we are government. Government is a body of people working together within a society.If we are the government, what government agency do you work for? What is your title in this agency? What control do you have over government bureaucrats? To make sure that they are not being abusing the system by which they create. None.If there were no such thing as a government, humans would make one, it is our instinct, we are pack animals.Wrong, there is things such as self governance. Government only has a role in protecting fellow citizens, foreign invaders, property, and enforce contracts.Our particular government happens to be a democracy, which happens to be working extraordinarily well from a historic perspective.Seriously, what school did you go to?The United States is a constitutional federal republic represented by a democracy.A purely capitalist society would quickly fall into either fascism or feudalism, both of which we see historically do not work well at all for the vast majority.Since there never has been a pure capitalist society, your point is moot. However, many communist and socialist republics has turned towards totalitarian governments. For example, there is the USSR, China, and North Korea."One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." (1984, George Orwell)Of the all the economics system, they can be separated into two categories.One is individualism, which is capitalism. There is only one system of individualism. Capitalism hasn't failed yet.Two is collectivism, which is socialism and communism, and fascism. All of these have failed.WHY HAS COLLECTIVISM FAILED AND CAPITALISM THRIVED?Because collectivism merely transfers wealth while capitalism creates new wealth.Okay, now that we are clear on definitions (I know we're not because we've been through this a million times now).No, you haven't cleared anything besides your inept knowledge of our government because you don't even know that the United States government is a constitutional federal republic represented by a democracy.In the world of capitalist-anarchy, no amount of work will get you anywhere. It's a world of no minimum wage, no education if you're not rich, no retirement if your not rich. You work your whole life for slave wages and die young. That's pure capitalism. In a democratic capitalist society (which we are) everyone has opportunity.That is pure exaggeration of liberals.For instance, minimum wage is the reason for unemployment. WHY? It is $7.50 per hour, which means that those who have skills under $7.50, they are automatically shifted out of employment and put on welfare. Now, consider the infinite wisdom of government whom enacted a minimum wage of $100 per hour. What do you earn in a hour? Do you make $100 per hour? Probably Not, So, you would be unemployed as well because nobody would be able to hire you. The job market is based on skills and supply and demand.Within this rant and random rambling of much to do about nothing, there is not a shred of evidence that government creates jobs or wealth.The fact remains that government only transfers wealth.
