If you own a big chunk of land and want to rent it out to businesses and turn a huge profit, it will sell for much more if good road lead through it.

Toll booths in my state are non existent, to use toll roads your vehicle has a transponder that is scanned and bills your account. If you don't have a transponder it takes a pic of your license plate and they mail you the bill.

Because now you gotta spend more money having the damn thing being on, and having it collect money for it.
Plus it clutters the road above for which you can build over the road below. Inefficient, just have people who want the road to pay up, have everyone chip in, and if they don't chip in, they don't get on the road. If they get on the road, the others have every right to strip the man of his car and kicking him off the road.

Fair enough, but "just have the people chip in" and the comparison to taxes seemed to imply it. I agree with you that taxes are more efficient/expedient than tolls.
>>
>>73844365
Roads are sold on lease agreements. Ontario's 407 is owned by a spanish company and it costs on average about a 100/month if you use it 5 days a week. People are just too cheap to use it despite the fact that the alternative highways are falling apart and cause accidents from falling debris every year.

Government roads are pretty great. All of you guys are talking about paying multiple dollars every time you want to use a road, toll booth or otherwise. I pay a 1 cent on the dollar tax for gas that pays for almost all of my state's roads and there are literally zero toll roads here. Shit's great.

You need a government because modern societies are extremely complex and its not like running your house. The main reason for governments to exist is to control and oversee things, and yes they will hire companies to do the actual work, however running a country is like running a multi-billion dollar company. You need a CEO and a board of members, a management level and so on. If you dont understand this simple thing you probably shouldnt vote and finish kindergarten.
>>
Oh yeah right, everything would work so well without the government!
>people who expect to profit from them
Like fucking who? If people had enough money to pay for all those roads they wouldn't fucking bother and just fly a heli everywhere,

Municipal privately owned roads wouldn't work because of the infrastructure problems that come with so many private companies in a single area.

Highways and border roads could work but it depends on how competent the government is.

In Ontario's case, our provincial government is completely retarded when it comes to road spending. Last year we had huge stretches of razed roads with no signs or anything. I ended up having to get my suspension replaced because it eventually completely fucked up my car.

>Privatized police forces have a track record for being more successful
On a microscopic scale, sure. Now imagine a nationwide, exclusively for-profit police force with ZERO government oversight. If you can't understand why that's a recipe for the worst third world policies, you prove exactly why libertarians should be executed in the street.

>That's called 'military', that's two
The for-profit MIC is pure cancer. Literally one of the most wicked forces in human history. Next.

>Unnecessary in a libertarian society, as laws and public policy naturally evolve through the free market
Oh boy.

>border security
>See privatized police again.
Kek. How are so many people this lacking in awareness? Business interests are the EXCLUSIVE reason that all this illegal third world immigration is even happening. The only reason the governments have a hand in this is because businesses were allowed to get so thoroughly out of hand after Reagan that they now outright OWN all governments. I'm sure if we just remove as many restrictions on business as possible, the market will force them to do the right thing. FUCKING. LITERALLY. RETARDED.

>Unsafe things don't get bought
Oh look at that, a libertarian doesn't know history again. Government regulations only exist to spoil CEOs' fun! Not because something happened which made them necessary. No, of course not. And if you can't come up with at least three examples off the top of your head for this, then you fail at both history and logical thought and prove your severe ignorance of history.

>And now we're back at military, so we're still at two.
Except that in a libertarian society (or as close to that as we can get - direct corporatocracy), it's warring corporations who own private mercenary armies with zero oversight - and we're already seeing the immense degree of abuse this is causing with the minor degree of private contractors we've been using since Iraq).

The reason lolbitarians don't believe in borders is because they are unnecessary.
High IQ societies are very expensive to live in and the gate that keeps out niggers and shitskins is their inability to earn a living wage in these high IQ societies.

Why would a privatized police force want less border security? So they can hire cheaper cops? What's your thinking here? Watch this, the police force that says "Hey, we'll protect the borders" gets the town's contract if that's what that community prioritizes. Easy.
>Government regulations only exist to spoil CEOs' fun! Not because something happened which made them necessary.

You honestly can't figure this out without handholding? Jesus Christ. I'm not giving you this one for free. Work for it. You should appreciate that.

>When car companies
Let's talk about car companies for a second. Before Japanese imports became a thing, cars didn't last for shit in America, and the American car companies claimed it was this way because it's what Americans wanted. Then Japanese imports became available and people started buying them instead because they lasted longer. Now all cars pretty much last the same amount of time. But American corporations DID NOT WANT THIS. You can try to claim this was the free market, but it actually wasn't. The Japanese don't believe in the free market. They believe in quality. And that's not motivated by an endless thirst for profit. Even now, income disparity is far less in Japan than America and they're probably the only nation on Earth that isn't imploding at the speed of light - meanwhile, the corporate-owned West is eating itself to make the rich more profit.

Because the people are paying someone to build the road. If the people want the roads, then they must pay into it, if they don't, fuck'em, they don't use it. If the other companies want to use the road, then they must be forced to pay out of pocket to use it. It is a privilege to use the road, not a right.

>Corporations aren't magic, they make money from people.
Oh man, I don't even want to address this. There are more important factors involved in market forces than just "people want to shop here". Wal-Mart is a great example. Wal-Mart had the resources to undersell all other competitors and thereby pushed out all other options. People had the option to either save money so they could survive an increasingly harsher financial environment or keep other stores open. There's no way in hell it was going to go any other way, and Wal-Mart knew this. There simply was no choice, only the illusion of choice. And the entire market is like that. But libertarians refuse to see things that way, because it's religiously convenient for them not to.

And yes, corporations DO need to be babysat, because they're spoiled bitches who'll tear up the furniture and burn down the house if you don't.

>>73847774
So you're saying libertarians aren't in favor of deregulating businesses?

>A fucking river bursting into flames and ruining the local environment counts as affecting those who didn't consent
Yet the government had to step in directly because nothing was being done after shit like this happened MULTIPLE times. This wasn't a one time occurrence. Funny how that works. I'm sure if it was allowed to continue long enough an angry mob may have driven out the looters and hanged the businesses' owners, but of course that would be prevented in a libertarian society and it's not desirable in ours either.

So are you for deregulating business or not? Let me guess, you're more interesting in finding some way to blame the government for allowing the businesses to do this shit in the first place, while simultaneously claiming businesses should be deregulated, which just so happens to be the exact thing which lead to this?

Imagine this scenario, the guys that did the study to find out smoking was bad went to the smoking industry in private and told them. They never told another person.
Do you think the smoking industry would suddenly stop or do you think they'd just cover it up?
You seem to think people intrinsically know what's good for them and that companies will fix their own wrong doings.

Also, it's in the quitting companies best interests for people not to quit smoking, the more they come back the better. Sure someone will come along with a better cure but then you "suddenly" make yours even better, all the while you continue to want the smoking companies in business because your company depends on it.

I do consider forced taxation a form of theft if the person being charged isn't utilizing anything the taxes are being put towards, but a government in place for national defense or international relations is something that literally everyone in a nation benefits from and is, therefore, justifiable to tax for.

I don't think you understand that this is about taxation without calling it taxation. Donating the money by force is still donating the money.

What does /pol/ think the best political and economic system is? and why?

>>73847176
If a company raised their prices well beyond the market value of their water, they would not be able to compete with other companies that charge the market value and have losses instead of profits.

>>73847215
The amount people would pay is high because they have a high value of the service and a high price would be reasonable. However private firefighters can compete with more efficient payment methods than "hey your house is on fire that will be $900 sir." It would work just like private fire insurance where different companies can compete for both an affordable and efficient way of profiting.

Private mass transit was what I meant to say, my apologies. Knew it didn't look right.

We had real estate tycoons put up huge amounts of light rail to connect the suburbs with downtown to encourage people to buy houses out there. They were wildly successful at selling real estate and then scrapped the rail system because it was wildly unprofitable.

>And your metro areas are only large because of your excessive house sizes, and no sense of community.
They're large because first, we have a lot of people, Greater Los Angeles has 18.6 million people to your country's 17 million. And second, because we have a lot of space in this country.

The state is not an association of people. It is a class, an organization. All it consists of is people misusing the system to their advantage.

How is the time elapsed relevant?

It completly negates the claim that companies would never sell a harmful product and then lie about its effects when there was no governing body stepping in and wrapping them sharply on the knuckles.

We know it happens, we have examples of it happening, it doesn't happen on the same scale now because we have regulatory agencies.

You do realize that the tobacco industry has WAY more fucking money than any combination of anti-smoking private agencies, right?

Nope. Your beloved market forces just operate to serve the rich and powerful, as they always have.

Libertarians literally use communist-tier arguments. When their policies lead to ruin for all but the rich, like during the reign of the Robber Barons, that wasn't because of libertarian policies. Everything is always the government's fault. ALWAYS. Libertarianism is a religion, not an economic system.

Okay, so in your hypothetical scenario, these people spent time and money studying the effects of smoking only to not actually tell anyone about it for no given reason? If you have to stretch shit this far to make your idea work, it's a shit idea.

>Also, it's in the quitting companies best interests for people not to quit smoking
How many times do I have to say this? If their shit doesn't work, people don't buy it. Why would a cigarette company work with an anti-smoking company knowing they are directly responsible for a reduction in their demographic?

And you have to look at things realistically. Smoking is never going to completely vanish. Cigarette companies and anti-smoking companies will always have business because you will always have people that analyse the risks and don't care, and analyse the risks and do.

London has 12 million people and the Randstad (Dutch collective of cities) has 8 million people. Both are far more spread out than LA. And we still have working and even profitable rail and light rail systems.

If nobody can afford their toll, nobody could pay and thus the company would fail. If it is expensive but somewhat affordable, they will have to deal with smaller companies starting up offering lower tolls. It's the same reason why utility companies charge a high amount despite being oligopolies or sometimes monopolies, yet don't charge a massive amount.
