Serious laws have been implemented in the countries we bemoan for being "socialist." This is free market capitalism doing its thing. Just remember this when you hear the libertarians blather on about government and how the market will sort this all out. Uh-huh.

This "free capitalism" does not mind when Government protects their copyright, patents etc. etc. They should not mind Government protecting us either. Otherwise let's get even and remove their protections. Then see how they like it.

Reminds me of the big bank bailouts in 2008 - capitalism on the way up, socialism on the way down. They only want to win, never lose. They will rapidly switch between whatever "ism" is needed to ensure they always win.
Without the socialist government robbing you through taxes there would be no need for the "tax websites" so there would be nothing to send to facebook.
