Sorry, but sounds like something straight out of /r/iamverysmart
Do you have any historic evidence that countries with smaller governments are wealthier & more efficient than countries where government spending is a large proportion of the GDP? (hint: it's all the western developed democracies)

Yeah, I was afraid it would come off that way and tried to soften it by qualifying my last statement. Apparently, it didn't work.

I didn't make that assertion. All I was trying to do is say that from my perspective most of the points raised in the article appear to be caused by government involvement, not by capitalism.
