It would be very interesting how a true free market would operate, and
the more I look at it, the more I think that it has its merits.
Unfortunately though, every time I look around, all I see is corporate
socialism.
I will repeat the examples I gave earlier.
1. When Large banks, corporations and auto makers fail, the government
should not step in and bail them out. They made their mistakes and
society should not be forced to pay their welfare.
2. Free trade and outsourcing should go both ways. If a pharmaceutical
company is getting its raw materials from overseas because they can get
it cheaper, then I as a consumer, should also be able to buy my
medication from the most economical place I can find. Government agents
should not be stopping me at the border and confiscating my prescription
medication that I am bringing in From Canada, Mexico, or wherever. The
only reason I am being stopped, is that big-pockets-pharma-lobby managed
to get a bill passed under the pretensions of protecting me, to stop me
from importing my medications.
3. If big corporations want to do business in unfriendly countries, then
they should use their own private armies to go take over and do business
there. Not push our countries into wars for their benefits.
A free market is a 2 way road.
