[Liberal scum]

As I read through the posts here, I see a lot of faith in the free market to single-handedly solve our problems.

I know this faith is typically conservative, but it just sounds so naive to me. Though it does lots of things very well, Capitalism is not perfect. Surely even conservatives recognize its inherent tendency to produce inequality, for example. How do they propose dealing with this?

(If this is off topic, can someone please direct me to the appropriate forum?)

Inequality is inherent.

It is not produced by capitalism, and it is not ameliorated by socialism.

Why must we "deal with" inequality? Many of us believe that liberty is more important than equality.

And that's a problem, because...? (Obviously, the completely pure form of any economic or political system is impossible to achieve and is probably undesirable.)

Cute screen name, btw. ;)
