Where tea partiers miss the boat: street policing won"t be properly provided if market is invoked. Every citizen-taxpayer would have an incentive to free ride, reducing security provision below optimal levels. Where t & s egalitarians miss the boat: some mutually beneficial transactions between citizen-taxpayers will be forgone if taxes added to potential seller"s bottom line make it unacceptable to buyers. Tea partiers are correct wanting a smaller state. T & s puritans are right wanting egalitarianism for society"s sake.
