Why is private power acceptable to libertarians, but public power is not? Power abhors a vacuum. If you diminish public power, private power will quickly assume the vacated space. The only difference between the two: private power answers to the power broker and only the power broker. Since those individuals are few and we are many, why hand the keys to the nation to them. Clearly, they only operate in their own best interest.
FWIW, I prefer to avoid a 21st century version of Feudalism.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
