Can't say I agree. Costs go down when competition is introduced, and when customers can negotiate with the people providing the services.
I don't see it as a superior option to have one agency that's allowed to give you services you may have never asked for, outlaw all competition, then send you a bill and lock you in a cage if you don't comply.
That's not even bringing in the issue of when they tax us and spend it on wars, bailouts, and all kinds of other garbage we would never pay for voluntarily.
Then why haven't we seen this work with the privatization of prisons?

Probably sums it up better than I could...

A truly private organization is characterized by competition in a free marketplace. A private organization does not enjoy any monopoly powers conferred by the state. Nor are the taxpayers forced to pay for the services of any private organization through their tax dollars. “Private” prisons, on the other hand, are nothing like a truly private organization.
The assertion that many people pay over $100,000 per year in taxes. I'd like to see the stats on that statement. And no, I won't google it because you said it.
Firstly, I never said "many" please show me where I did.
Secondly, you don't have to google anything, it's a simple math problem.
Well he did and because of government regulations you're most likely getting a pizza with topping delivered in a box that won't endanger your health.
And if they didn't have to pay insane amounts of tax, they wouldn't have to eat crappy soggy pizza in the first place. They could afford to buy a healthy three course meal.
We read the same articles. I just linked that in here a month or two ago.
Theoretically speaking a free market is an all-or-nothing proposition. In short, a free market cannot exist in an involuntary statist society because the State regulates, taxes, and arbitrarily decides winners and losers based on principles outside of a free market.
Plus the State has a monopoly on force. You can't function freely in a paradigm such as this.

True. Pizza Hut would love to sell you pies in ricin-laced boxes if there was no government watching them.
It would increases their sales by billions.
