Well, frankly, when you look at history, and how "successful" various governments have been (if you can measure that in dollars), and how successful private enterprise CAN be, it's not terribly surprising, I suppose. The human being (I include myself) tends to be fairly selfish, and puts their money where it will do them the most good personally. Maybe this is why I shy away from socialist bents on policies, regulations and even just general tendencies.
