That's called 50 years of liberal policies topped off by a Republican predisposed to act like them on economic policy - save for tax cuts.
In their view government is a convenient hurdle to try and place in front of other competitors. The corporations will tolerate even large hurdles placed in front of themselves, so long as the hurdle in front of their competitors is even larger.
If you have the power and freedom to throw a government tax or regulation in front of one of your competitors then the free market requires that you do so!
So why are all these free traders opposed to government? Is it because they are too lazy and too poor to afford to twist government in their direction?
I say stop wasting your time on FreeRepublic trying to convince us commie-pinko-tariff-loving-neanderthals of the correctness of your views and spend more time selling crap on e-bay, making eTrades, and turning houses for fun and profit.
