businesses are started and fail at a huge rate no matter who is running the government. What matters more is getting just the right idea into operation at the right moment and then building on the success. And it's hard no matter what. If there was no government, your competitors would come by and torch your business or beat you up or even kill you to win. Think that's outrageous? Well, John D. Rockefeller sent thugs to do just that when his competitors wouldn't sell. I am sure that others can provide many more examples of this type of predatory capitalism. It is only held in check by government.
