The "free market" has spoken with its invisible hand! |
|
And the "free market" mythology has failed. Big time.

It just doesn't work so well when people are involved.

3. There has never been a free market in this country. |
|
There has always been socialism for the businesses that could afford to purchase lawmakers, and the Devil take everyone else.

10. More like, we have all been played for "marks". |
|
I wonder if all the "free market" bloviators will ever begin to understand that winners and losers in our economic system are picked by whoever controls the right to spend the government's (our) money.
Thus has it always been since we've been a republic.
