When I think about all the wealth generated by Apple, it makes me wonder which government agency thought it all up and, with plodding bureaucratic meticulousness, taxed and regulated it into what it is today.

Governments can play a role in supporting innovation and economic growth by taking care of their proper responsibilities, e.g. infrastructure, education, national defense. Economic development is something that governments have never done very well.
