I AM a Free Marketeer though. Just not in the way it is sometimes used in the Globalist sense.

Also, you are continuing to ignore the point that if government HAD no power to interfere in the free market, there would be nothing for "big business" to buy. Period. End of story.

And yes, in part, the voting public IS to blame. For not throwing out those who clearly have a conflict of interest or a voting record that clearly shows a trend of voting AGAINST market freedom.

I agree that IF governement had fewer powers there would be fewer things to purchase from it.

My point is that government is big and will continue to be big because it behooves some companies and organizations to make it so.

At one time there may have been a few companies that would have fought against the concept of a big government. However the paradox is that in order to be a good CEO you have to recognize that big government is here to stay and act accordingly, i.e. feed it more money to do your bidding and end up getting ever more regulation and taxation in return.
