Great link to show what industrialists can do without government help.
The main government contribution I saw there was the government giving
the railroads land they stole from the indians.


That's all you saw???

Again, do you actually read these things you link?


Completely missed this part, eh?:

Pro-Business government policies
o Protection of private property
o Federal subsidies, loans, and land grants for railroads
o Protective tariffs
o Very little federal regulation of business
o Very low taxes on corporate profits

A few interesting quotes from that article.

Very little federal regulation of business

Very low taxes on corporate profits


That would be a subsidy.

Built without federal subsidies


You cherry picked just two instances. Figures.
