Hayek and Friedman and Paul the mighties! All bow down before their sociopathic brilliance! Rules and regulations are for wimps! Real men and women don't need no stinkin' rules!
Sorry for hurting your precious pony-chasing feelings, but your school's time is up, having been proven--yet again--to be utterly wrong (except, of course, in theory, where it rules!). Your entire argument appears to be that so long as you exclude those for whom it has not worked--i.e. up to 90% of the population--free market capitalism is da bomb!
Ron Paul is a crazy person, and a hypocrite. The fact that he was right about the war, while admirable, is irrelevant to this matter. He says that he's for keeping the government out of our lives, except when he wants to enforce his delusional religious beliefs about 2 week old embryos having divine souls on the rest of us. He's no libertarian. He's a bible-thumping crazy who wants to take us back to the 19th century. You know, back when laissez-faire worked so well--for the top 10%. Not so much for the folks that Jacob Riis hung out with.
You people perplex me. So out of touch with reality, living in ideological bubbles.
And I refuted you damn well, point by point. If you can't read--or prefer to lie--I can't help that.
