Debate: Is a government absent of corruption possible?
Side: yes

A common scenario is that an established company buys out its competition or charges less for the same product than its newly created competitors, bankrupting them. Then that company holds the entire market, without any intervention from the state.What don't you understand about this? Government helps with regulations where the costs of regulations are crippling smaller businesses, and allows larger businesses to merge or acquire. Try researching the early industrial revolution across Europe and America. Pay special attention to how exploitative companies were towards workers, and how violent companies were towards organised labour.BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. You're wrong. Two can play that game.I am aware of the industrial revolution of exploitation of workers. A minimum wage would have made sense then because they didn't possess any skills or talents and use them against their employer as leverage to improve their income and working conditions. A good majority of those unskilled workers didn't have a education, not even a primary school education. This is why today public education is important because it benefits all of society because it increases jobs skills and talents through a minimum education. So, if I am wrong, then why don't homeless people have jobs? Is it because they lack any skills or talents that are above the minimum wage or because they were exploited with their previous employer of bad working conditions or maybe they moved from Central America to get out of there to come here because of our excellent minimum wage laws. This is why in the United States you can spend four years earning an exceptional education and credentials but make only a few dollars above minimum wage in certain cities and towns, while others will pay you twice the hourly wage.Where is your proof?This is exacerbated in developing countries where "well-paid" people are actually making wages just comparable to what American minimum wage is, because everyone else receives mere dollars an hour despite that the employers can afford to pay moreLack of labor in supply and demand. There is no infrastructure.Unemployment comes from a lack of jobs.Wow, you do know something about economics. So now you can understand how well educated people in developing countries are only paid as well as minimum wage because of supply and demand, and they want to come to America due to the high supply of jobs based on the skills that they acquired in their home country.You really don't have a clue what you're talking about, and are operating purely from what you've read, rather than any actual personal experience.You clearly no fucking clue who I am, and I have never made any conclusions on who you are.One need only look at South America, Central America, and South Asia to see how wrong you are.Flip that around because it is only to see how right I am. Anyone can see that workers in developing coutnries have no leverage of working conditions or income because the lack of basic education, which then means less skills and talent.Why do you think a doctor makes more money than a janitor?Two Reasons:Supply and DemandMore Education and Skills, which are due in part to supply and demand.If you want a less ambiguous answer, look at the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.That was under war. Mao Zedong's genocide was under peacetime. As for Nazi Germany, they were hardly Democratic.
