"Unfettered" capitalism would be 0% tax and no regulations, private courts, private everything that used to be government's job.

Well... if companies took over the government, then unfettered capitalism would be 100% taxes.

I'm suggesting that in pure capitalism, companies would fill the roles that government mostly fills today. We already have private courts (called arbitrators), private security (mall cops, bouncers, security guards, etc), private package delivery (FedEx, UPS, DHL), private health care, private schools. The difference between a private company and the government is that private companies aren't allowed to use force to get what they want, they have to follow the same rules as people do -- no stealing, no attacking people. If a company comes to you and says, "give me 30% of your income or my thugs will kidnap you" you can tell them to pound sand, and you can defend yourself against their thugs.

Who's going to enforce this? The free market? Our militias vs their militias?
Free market justice for sale. Proprietary rules. Sounds fair to me.
There's no way this could go sour.

Are you saying that the private solutions that we have today, that are working today, can't possibly work?

Are you saying the social solutions that we have today, that are working today, can't possibly work?
No. I'm saying everything needs balance and fairness.
There is no such thing as a free market without regulations, subsidies, etc.
