The government didn't build roads in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. That's when capitalism started, if you don't recall.
Uh, yeah, the Government did build roads back then.
They've been building them as far back as the Roman Empire.
No, the government didn't get into the road building business until the 1920s.
We aren't talking about the Roman Empire, dumbass.
