its a burden for the businessman? Who gives a ****. If you can't handle the struggle of running a business, don't go into business. Business is a struggle of keeping your overhead low, your prices competitive, and your customers happy. In free market capitalism, it keeps things fresh and relevent.
Making it easier for them makes it horrible for us. and...It doesn't make the majority wrong either, so we can't operate on that scale. What we can do is say that it was considered the option by the majority and at least conclude its fair.

A freer market would make it easier for people to succeed. Since I want to succeed, I want the true road to achieve it. The problem is, with this mixed economy, you either get favored by the government or you get denied by the government. It isn't capitalism. It is government regulated capitalism and all monopolies, bailouts, etc are all because the government decided to give favors to a company who did not deserve it. The market doesn't decide a good or bad company anymore. It is the government who decides whether one industry deserves to make money or not. Call it what you want, but this isn't "free" market capitalism. and...It doesn't make the majority wrong either, so we can't operate on that scale.

Another freedom it protects is the freedom to have a secure living. Big military is good because it provides a job opportunity to thousands (further supporting the first point) and because without it we'd be less safe. Granted I think its currently doing poorly by being in a war that I personally don't view as justified. However, with better leadership I think having it around would be a good thing. Quote:

According to the population clock as I type this there are 306,175,150 Americans. If all of those people sent 10 dollars to the government right now we'd cycle 3,061,751,500 dollars which could be used to help the national debt and in turn raise the value of the dollar. When the money would reach the people again we'd all be a fraction of a penny richer and interest rates would probably be a fraction of a percent lower. Paying the national debt really does that much, and so having a stimulated economy to get the country up to speed is important. Quote:

Monopolies are in no way compatible with the free market system.
What reason would anyone favor monopolies over government controlled institutions? they'd be the same thing. At least with the government we could vote. And btw; Us = consumers, them = business owners. they should be less useless to you now.
