Let me start by saying you're correct. ' However, it's also the case that the free market seems to now be only in play when it comes to reducing wages, off shoring, and other cost cutting. The free market isn't at play when it's time for bailouts, subsidies, and government contracts. Rugged individualism for all, except the wealthy elite. I'm not sure the person who you replied to has a frustrated / discouraged tone, but that's what I read it as. I share the sentiment and the above is why. |

This is a direct consequence of considering money to be free speech: those who have more of it have louder voices, and this matters a lot when it comes to elections, and when it's time for politicians to pay back their debts to the donors.
