Im happy that you believe this. I however don't. So where does that leave us?
> You pay it money, and if you have a good government it includes a branch to make sure consumers aren't ripped off/poisoned/injured/killed/etc.
I pay the money because I don't really have the option to only pay for the government I like.
If you feel that way how about a tax on all products that are FDA approved that pay for the FDA. Other products can be sold with a stamp on it, not FDA approved.
> Some governments, like the EU, are actually quite good at this.
I would disagree.
> A government can only be taken over from the inside - often by those who pretend to support libertarian ideals, but in practice simply want to operate at various levels of criminality without challenge or oversight.
> But a government can never be taken over completely. There are always people who believe that market forces are a naive and unworkable ideology, and are willing to work against their excesses. They have a natural role in government regulation, but no natural role in markets.
I don't really understand your point.
Its defiantly not libertarians or people who claim libertarian ideals who create, run and push for more of these regulatory agencies.
