Excellent column.

Many of these foolish ingrates he describes stalk the threads of FR, even though they should know better.

Adam Smith/Ayn Rand-style capitalism has been supplanted by a mercantilist cabal, who are trying to use government power to guarantee themselves future profits regardless of the quality of their goods and services. The objections on FR are to the actions and vast influence of this cabal, not to the principles of capitalism. No one here thinks the Obamas of the world have the right answers, just that the Citigroups and JP Morgans and Boeings and GMs are in no way white knights of economic freedom - as Republicans too often believe.
