It should be noted that Steve is mostly taking the libertarian
side of the argument although he talks as if he were not, while
Jim seems to be defending the american fascist status quo, and
pretending that this fascist-corporatist-mercantilist status quo
is somehow 'libertarian'.
Perhaps the problem is that somebody struck Jim's head with an
ayn randroid book in the past...

Fascism is cooperation of 'private' industry and government. A
phenomenom that is obviously rampant in the US.
Other main components of fascism are nationalism and
militarism. Obviously rampant in the US too.
A police state is also a nice touch. I think the US has a
wold-wide, cyber police state plus highest incarceration rate
in the world? et cetera.

In short, what's your name for the economic system of the US
and the rest of the 'first' world? Or even most of the rest of
the world.
