    What free market? All I have ever known is corporate socialism. Subsidize business with taxpayer dollars. Regulatory capture to prevent competitors from entering the market.

      Somehow it’s not socialist when you prop up corporate entities with billion dollar handouts a few times a decade everytime they fuck up but a single mom getting $100 only usable for food because she was let go from her job of 5 years with 10 minutes notice is a communist plot single handedly destroying America.

        Communist governments do the exact same thing, except if you talk about it they send you straight to the gulag.

      Hence why our economy is going to shit.

      We need to eliminate the corruption and return to free market principles, not add even more buerocracy that only benefits the Oligarchs.
