    Why do you automatically call people warlords or billionaires? Of all the security companies I've seen: the ones that patrol apartment complexes, the ones that are at concerts & events .... I doubt those are warlords and billionaires.
    It behooves those security companies to employ quality people, lest the companies go out of business after no one likes their services.

    Were you referring to Blackwater and gangs? Now Blackwater may be worth millions or billions but that's because the your precious government is paying them that much.

    The billionaires that do exist could pay for roads. They'd own them, and they could charge us for us. That way if you don't drive, you don't have to pay. I drive, so I'd want my contract with the road owners to state that they owe me a safe road to drive on. The road owners would want to maintain their roads because they'd then be responsible for the safety of the roads
    The original American toll roads pretty much worked like that. Eventually the government took over such things because they're much more efficient at such things. For an example of how having the state and federal governments improve control of roads is a good thing, dd you ever drive on the Jersey Turnpike in the past, for example? There used to be so many tollbooths, because every town could set one up and many did. It still has tollbooths, but not as many as before because I think the laws changed a bit.

    The problem with hating government is that the alternative is rich people and corporations ruling the world, and they would be far, FAR worse than our government, by miles. (And no, the government did not "create corporations", and regardless of how they started, without government today they would take over.)
