I say rah, rah for the free market!

Yeah! Rah! "The Free Market!" Everyone bow and genuflect. Well, I can tell you that, if I can, I'll use that same "free market" to ruin you and everyone else if it makes me a quick buck. Profit and greed know no loyalty, to people or a country, only money. And if you worship money and only money, that's what you'll get, only money. If that means ruining everyone and devil take the hindmost, I say, so be it.

Be careful of what you wish for, you might get it (literally).

You are totally mistaken. The free market serves people in the best way. It provides goods and services to those who need them the most, and has others defer their needs to the most needy. It stimulates otherwise indifferent people to provide those goods and services in a sufficient quantity to provide for the necessities. It is a marvelous, socially agreeable allocation scheme.

Compare it with the political allocation - goods to the most politically connected, or to the bestial, who dispense with the exchange method of getting what they need, they just take it from the possessor, often taking their life as well.

Like, what's your choice?
