What these short sighted people like poster Ron Paul don’t seem to understand is that if everyone in this country simply went out and started their own one man business the economy flat out wouldn’t work. I guess in his alternate reality, the next time he needs a car he can just walk down the street to Bill’s car company, and buy the one Bill built out of sticks in his garage,

The economy needs labor, that labor takes natural resources and converts them into commodities like fuel, steel, electronic components, etc.

Those commodities are then used to build products for sale…. if everyone had their own one man business…..his business wouldn’t exist since there would no such thing as machinery……. of course there are some third world countries where the economy works exactly the way he thinks it should
