Why do the laws of economics mutate

They don't. That is the whole point.

Another argument that doesn't make sense is why government needs to support any business that is popular. If it is popular enough that a majority of constituents want it, then it is popular enough to be supported by the free market. That FACT is, governments only do things that are unpopular. If people want to buy something, you don't have to force them to pay for it.

You don't need to raise taxes for things that people are WILLING to pay for.

The whole point of what, BigAzzHam's post? LOL

I was asking because of what he wrote:

"Ask people if they think the government should grocery stores and they will say no. Ask them if the government should run public schools and they will say yes. Ask them to explain why the laws of economics mutate depending on the type of good or service that is being delivered and they will stare at you incomprehensibly."

I have no idea what "the laws of economics mutate" portion of his sentence even means.

You don't need to raise taxes for things that people are WILLING to pay for.

Exacty!
