" The government exists solely to soften the edges of the competitive results, to provide a safety net for those who choose poorly or experience the random hand of bad luck."
Just where in the universe do you live; and when?
Government exists in any and all activities that involve more than one person. Interactions of people are governed by mutually agreed upon civil, social, and legal customs, traditions, rules, regulations, and/or laws. Much has changed since 1925, in case you had not noticed. The greater the number of people, the more complex civil and social customs, traditions, rules, regulations, and/or laws become.
Industry/business, (private, public and/or government) must work within the confines of the society within which it operates. One of the duties of governments is to assure that industry/business operate properly and safely within established customs, traditions, rules, regulations, and/or laws. This is called ‘law and order’; its purpose is to assure for the open, regulated, and safe environment for business activities within modern civil society. The economy will take care of itself as long as industry/business work within the law and order of society’s established customs, traditions, rules, regulations, and/or laws.
The USA representative form of government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. We the people decide/establish customs, traditions, rules, regulations, and/or laws for ourselves, companies, businesses, industry, and government within USA. We the people are witnessing representative government of the people, by the people, and for the people in all its non-elitist, non- reactionary glory.
One of the purposes of all government is to protect the people. Having a safety net under the high-flying trapeze artist does not prevent the artist from being any better or worse than the individual wants to be. It does not constrict artist's sense of freedom, either.
Once again you veer into fallacy from the very first utterance. CIVIL SOCIETY exists in activities involving more than one person. Civil society is voluntary in nature - as is all commerce in free enterprise. Gub'ment is coercive in nature - like the taxes it confiscates by force of law from all freely generated commercial activity. When the "safety net" becomes a gub'ment mandated styrofoam body suit, the trapeze artist is unable to perform at all.
