    How about national security--assurance that your investments won't be destroyed by armed conflict.

    Rule of law--assurance that your business interests will have a fair chance to compete.

    Political stability, i.e. freedom from threat that your assets will be seized (a la Hugo Chavez)

    Sure those are the people that want to be taken care off. They usually are employees not employers. They want everything fixed and not have to think for themselves. They want government to handle everything for them. They want to have fuel for there homes and cars. They want government health care.

    They do not want others to have more than others. Those are the ones that wish to take money from those that have made money. They don’t think about how much it cost to run a business. They just see the gross profit. They see it as unfair.

    These people are just not well informed. If they were to truly understand they would not want government to be involved. Though many are smart they are just uneducated on this point.

    Can You Say Government Schools…..they teach what benefits them.

    Somethings work with one or not the other. As far as the govt goes. Its existence depends on it. Otherwise, it could cause an economic catastrophe.
