Why do people keep downvoting me? This is on point with the discussion and it is in the same tone of the surrounding conversation. The only difference I see is that I'm arguing the other side.

Are downvotes votes of disagreement? If so, everyone should be able to downvote.

Statement like "this is by definition" do not add to the conversation, especially when they are clearly false. If you want to argue that government are less efficient because they have more bureaucracy then make the argument. I generally agree, but it is not by definition and there are many counterexamples (such as this Indian mars mission).
