You mean what Andrew Breitbart does on a regular basis?
Now, I might note that the flaws in Ron Paul's arguments include that whole 1,000 year span of time between the Battle of Adrianople and the start of the Hundred Year's War where private-sector institutions had their chance to shine in a Europe where states did not exist in any sense of the term. That span in time not coincidentally was one of continued deep poverty and ignorance and illiteracy and people humping like bunnies and dying like bunnies, the only interval where anything was at all different being the era of the Carolingians.
Without a welfare state, trusting in the private sector to handle everything you will eventually get your state from the simple reason that after enough contact with the Church and the landlords the peasants will again decide that the state can't be worse and the leaders will once again be delighted to assume that responsibility the private sector cares not for.
Abolish public sectors and you revert society back to the warm and fuzzy period of prosperity that was the Medieval era.
