The state gets its mitts into pretty much everything. Statists love taking advantage of this fact to give the state credit for things the free market is responsible for, no matter how irrelevant or insignificant the state intrusion. In this video, I show this to be a fallacy that no other woo uses, and show the REAL data demonstrating that we're better off with freer markets.
