^It's a subset of the general premise that there must be separation between the marketplace, and the activities conducted within that marketplace. That is, for the marketplace to form a level playing field, the participants themselves, and especially one group alone, can't control it.^
Interesting idea. Can someone who holds it still support the concept of the government running major industries like health care or others?
I went over something like that a short time ago. Remember the "parable of the referee?"
When the guy making and enforcing the rules gets to play the game, everything goes to hell. Government should be...well...simply a governor. A mechanism designed solely to keep a complex machine from running out of control. The referee shouldn't call the plays, decide on the endorsements, figure out what the players get paid, pick the team colors, or decide what flavor of Gatorade they're going to drink.
