Free market capitalism is THE economy of free peoples.
If you don’t like it, move to Venezuela.
Conservatism supports free markets, as we support freedom, period.
The “Free Market” spiel is almost always brought up when someone wants to challenge a new Walmart.
I have helped dissuade several Walmarts from locating somewhere by citing a “Free and equal” market does not give away the huge pot of incentives Walmart always demands when the competing local merchants get nothing. When Walmart does not get unfair concessions, they locate somewhere else.
Think about it - why should the local merchants already in existence, basically give money(tax abatements, etc.) to build competition to put themselves out of business?
That’s not a “Free and equal” market.
