even created the Internet, the more salient point is that the govt operates with capital (i.e. purchasing power) that is taken from other people.
If anyone had control of 20% of capital in the United States, that person could hire millions of people, purchase all sorts of physical goods and real property, and conduct all sorts of experiments, and probably stumble upon some innovations in the process. But, what if that 20% of purchasing power was left with the people from where it was taken?
It's not like the Internet is mysterious or anything. Private investors could easily have developed the Internet themselves, but so much of their own capital is crowded out by the govt simply taking it.
