We could have a lot less government than we have today and still have plenty to go around. Gov't is a necessary evil that is constantly trying to expand itself in unnecessary ways.

I don't think you read my post. I said it was fearmongering, and that you were doing a particularly poor job of it.

And therein is the issue. How does the government protect property? Are stocks and bonds property? Do they have an interest in protecting 401k plans? If so, how do they do that without regulations? And how are regulations of any use without prosecutory power? Apply this to many, many areas of the law where conservatives whine about government presence.

Again... How can it be fearmongering if "Americans think it would be great"? Is it because Americans really don't think the economy of Western Europe is what they want?
