I posted a NY Times story last night which defended it.

Today new perspectives are being brought forward. I normally do not participate very much in the posts but something such as capital gains is a big problem for those who are "bought out", especially those who rely on these for retirement. Next I would ask who are you today when the government really is the owner of your property? Where is the free market system now?... I would be amazed if questions such as these ceased.

We each need to ask these questions and others. And we need to figure out the answers for ourselves. For the free market question, Hieronymous pointed out that an unregulated market is not free at all, and regulating a free market requires constant adjustment if the market is to continue to be free. He is quite right.

Interesting to see even the quiet posters speaking up on these important and little-understood matters.
