Quote:It's already done all across the United States. Unincorporated counties contract different companies to maintain roads all over the place. And Gasp some communities maintain the roads themselves. I know it's a shocking concept for many to grasp, it's the first argument Libertarians here, without government who would build the roads!? But it's not only completely feasible it's already being done.

 

Why is it so hard to understand that local communities would hire private companies and if they didn't do a good job they'd either be released or their contracts not renewed. It's no different then how many communities already manage trash pickup, water management, and phone lines. But I'm just a radical Libertarian.

 

There are limitations. It's easy to replace trash companies, water companies, and phone companies.

 

You're missing the point. I'm not arguing about these companies. I want to know how you replace the military, police, firefighters, etc.? What happens when one of those contractors, violates your rights, and its discovered? Who will arrest them? Keep in mind, these contractors would likely outnumber the local police department. What happens when you sue the contracted firefighters that just watched your house burn because they didn't want to waste the water? Sue them? Who would make them pay? Your argument has holes that you haven't addressed.

 

Having said all this, I'm done talking to you about it. Feel free to reply but I have gone off topic too long now.
