34. Well, but *NONE* of those situations were laissez-faire hands-off government

In all three of those cases, a government entity was actually enabling the corporation in question.

I know teabaggers aren't entirely liberatrians, but the actual libertarians I know keep making that point: none of these could have happened if government were not powerful and ubiquitous enough to help one corporation or industry over another.
