I'll trust the competitive marketplace to keep my prices down more than I'll trust any corrupted politician.
You mean the competitive market place we have today?
The one skewed by tax breaks, farm subsidies for corporate farmers, government support of bulk transport systems, futures market manipulation through automated bid spiking, . . .
That competitive market?
If it was truly a competitive market, I'd be with ya all the way.
Unfortunately, it's a huge business.
And where there's huge business, there's huge money.
And where there's huge money, there's a politician looking to "help" its constituents, 'cause, well, you know -- someone needs to look out for the little people (and, of course, be rewarded for their efforts).
