[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how people like OP can be so ignorant.  Did she not take an Economics 101 class in college?  I'd recommend she google the term "market failure" as a starting point.

Without government, we wouldn't have things like the interstate highway system, law enforcement officers, or public parks.  If the only medical research is done by private entities, we'd have endless funds going to research erectile dysfunction and virtually nothing going to devastating conditions like Huntington's disease and ALS, because those conditions are comparatively rare and harder to cure.

I'm an AUSA.  I think the work I do prosecuting those who violently victimize others and exploit children is important.  The only analogue in the private sector is low/medium-end criminal defense work.  I might be able to take my litigation skills to a firm, but I've spent so much of my career in the criminal law world that I'm not sure how attractive I'd be to a firm doing civil litigation.
