Steve's Barking; The free enterprise system needs government

Despite what many think the free enterprise system needs government almost as much as it needs a form of capitalist system.

There are too many people who believe that government is a hindrance to the free enterprise system, but the facts get in the way.

If government just stopped monopolies that would be enough to prove the free enterprise system needs government.

If government stopped stealing that would be enough to prove that the free enterprise system needs government.

If government only enforced copyright laws, that would be enough to prove that government is needed for the free enterprise system.

If government encouraged lending to new companies in existing businesses, that would be enough to prove that government is needed for a free enterprise system.
