I’d say their real fault lies in not accepting that zero regulations ultimately means that whoever gathers the most influence the fastest will corner every market, and you will no longer have the “choices” that their free market capitalism promises.
It’s extremely simple. History his rife with examples. Modern day is full of examples.
The 2nd largest fault is thinking that people will do what’s in their best interest. If fire departments, roads, etc are a good idea, people will opt to subscribe to those services / maintenance of their own volition. This again ignores the history of what has already happened, and why these became involuntary tax funded services to begin with.
More likely, those services would be controlled by the rich and the price would be set to exclude x% of people who are too poor to pay. Then someone’s house catches on fire and before you know it half your workers are homeless. Not good for business. So what’s the solution? Make the middle class pay for everyone’s fire protection of course! (Should be the rich paying for it, but you know, capitalism)
Remember, the rich are the enemy… Stupid people are the victims just like poor people.
