It is due to it being the application of political science. It does not permit failed policies to be continued fruitlessly year after year with idealistic fervour, it is next to impossible for anyone surrounded by fierce libertarian critics to continue clinging on to lies. It is a purely functional machine, lubricated with justice and fueled by free speech.

Anyone who believes that regulations hurt the corporations today and that the government is the enemy of corporate control is just completely wrong. The state is completely bought off, so I'd rather just live with less regulations and taxations since they never do what they're supposed to anyway.
People have this idea that libertarians are anarchists. We're not all about total deregulation and regressing to the Articles of Confederation. Not at all, we start with the Constitution, meaning, there certainly needs to be a federal power to do a couple things here and there, but not the welfarefest that is today. Theres a reason to fear of big government.
It's not just a matter of free market vs. regulation, there are many implications to each, and many middle grounds in between as well. Most is up to debate but it almost always depends on what market we're talking about.
