One of the ways that some Americans have been missled is the notion that business is holy and government is a threat. So they spend their energy looking for proof of that presumption.
I believe that all organizations of humans are flawed, as are all humans, but there is nothing inherently good or bad about any collection of human effort. Organizations are merely tools for collaboration, be they businesses, governments, unions, religions, or families.
One of the correlaries of the irrational fear of government is worship of the pure abstraction of freedom and liberty. What do they even mean?
Because of our government we are the most free people to ever walk the earth. The closest thing to the remaining compromise of that is poverty.
Yet people whine all of the time about the burden of responsibility.
"I should be free to do whatever, whenever I want.
Nobody ever was.
