Free Markets! Stop It!

STOP IT! Stop talking about free markets! They are not free. The involvement of the government in the functions of the markets preclude them from ever being know as free.

Free trade is there--meaning that there is trade among countries without tariffs and such--but nothing about them are near free markets. Just look to the government bail out of financial institutions within the subprime debacle. The government is protecting the business of mortgages, not the people that got hood winked by the practices of the shady organizations and practices.

The American people are just there to prop up business, seldom is anything done to protect them from the vultures in the business world.
