The Pseudo-Science of Government

One of the most irritating things about government is how it makes the use of violence the answer to every single social problem. There is never an examination of facts or economic law, no instead the supernatural entity called government is always the answer that some how effects all things with out actually being apart of it.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I have an idea! lets point guns at people and make them do what we want!"

This is the only solution every intellectual has to offer anymore. All intellectual energy is focused on where to point the gun, and never on the nature of the gun its self.

Government only has pseudo-scientific solutions.

The bailout comes to mind.  As if some committee of people that have no direct relation to your well being have the ability to spend 700 billion dollars productively (that they printed out of thin air) in an economy of millions of people each with differing goals, and interests.

This is not an answer.  Its a joke.

Most people seemed to realize that there was something wrong with simply taking 700 billion dollars and giving it a few corporations, though most don't even seem to know why.

The reason why is because it is not based any economic understanding.  These it doesn't take a professional to say "hey! lets print a whole bunch of money!". It takes a monopoly on violence that has a very limited interest in your well being.

There are reasons why the war on drugs has achieved nothing but millions of lost dollars and thousands of deaths. There are reasons why welfare has increased poverty. There are reasons why prostitution is a profession filled with STD's, rape, and drug addiction, except for certain parts of Nevada where it is legal.

But no one ever pays attention. No one cares to even look.

Capitalism always takes the blame and the we point more guns.

Now the newest bright idea "Lets point guns at people so that medicine can be affordable."

There is this insane assumption that for some reason, the economic law of medicine is entirely different then every other aspect of economics.  For some reason food is very affordable, but medical care is not.   Why is that? They should be functioning on the same principles of economics. The prices should be a representation of human beings and interests. So why aren't they?

It's because of the guns that are already there.

You cannot look at the government enforced monopoly called the AMA that determines by the force of violence who can be a doctor, and how many doctors there can be in a certain geographical location to maximize profits and then call it capitalism, and say that it has failed!

Of course it will make no difference, capitalism will take the blame and the government will grow as it always does.

Capitalism is a representation of peoples interests.  It is when some people use the force of violence to gain advantages of other (like the AMA) then it is not! Then it is a representation of some people being able to charge more because they have outlawed competition. That is what people need to understand. That is what people need to see. Rather then making blind assertions that capitalism has failed and the only solution we have left is violence.

Government is a pseudo-science, and using violence to solve social problems is not "a noble cause".
