Despite its dismal track record, people continue to believe government can solve problems. Such a viewpoint represents the triumph of faith and hope over history and wisdom. It is incentives, not intentions, that determine results. Capitalism is the natural evolution of barter. Through voluntary exchange, scarce resources are directed to their best utilization by consumer demand. Government intervention can only disrupt the process, favoring one group over another. The Constitution limits federal authority, but since it cannot enforce itself, our founding document is vulnerable to sabotage from those "public servants" charged with protecting and defending it. Less than a century ago, it was generally recognized that the federal government lacked even the authority to ban alcohol without a Constitutional amendment. Today, our government recognizes no limitations on its authority. Government mandates everything from health insurance to light bulbs, assaults individual liberty on a daily basis, treats traveling Americans like criminals, spends tax money bailing out politically connected friends and empowers itself to take over privately held companies on a whim.
