Roads, bridges and all of that could be built and maintained by businesses. Do some research on Anarcho-Capitalism.

Yes it could and you would have to pay for every mile you drive. Or do you think the private ownership would save you money?
This guy wants to go back to the days of everything being in the hands of big business or even further back to the times of private armies.
Well that would be before America was anything but a settlement under the rule of the English, with their Army paid for out of the King's funds and led by General who paid for the rank. For America to become Independent it took an Army, paid for by who?
So let's go back to the English Civil War. Were taxes raised to fight that?
