My relationship with politics and economics is complicated like it should be.

I "stay in the center of the circle" as Tao Te Ching advises, but I also cannot deny the superiority of the Free Market. (Not to be confused with whatever the United States does for healthcare).

We have countless examples of competitive markets performing best, and a handful of government controlled markets that are horrible (healthcare, education, real estate, banking)

Some people call this inevitable in capitalism, that government will be used to create inequality. But at least this is not intended, whereas other economic policies make this a feature.

Anyway, can't vote for Republicans, they like big government which seems like an obvious bad idea.

Free markets are one of the most powerful tools we have available, but that very same power makes them very dangerous to wield. I don't want competive markets in human organs for transplants no matter HOW much better they would perform.
