You truly think we live in a free market? We are an extremely over regulated, Government leveraged, overtaxed market. If Government truly got the hell out of the way, stopped corporate taxes and allowed a true free market to thrive only then would we be a free market.
Want to build a manufacturing plant? The Government will tell you where, when, how large it can be, what would not be acceptable, hold onto dozens of permits, tax each and every entity along the way and then tell you in essence what you can and cannot do within your business.
Of course not. A free market is the ideal, but we live in the real world, not the ideal world.
