Choice is fundamental to the free market and liberty in general. That some cheat or abuse the system (going on since the dawn of time) isn't any reason to set up some political regime to manage our lives.
We're supposed to be a free people, able to decide for ourselves how and where we will spend our money. No one likes junk and no one fears the flame like the fool who's badly burned.
