    It’s almost like the American people are beginning to realize the ‘Free Market’ is not in their best interest after all.

      It was never free. That was a lie. When they say “free market” they mean “whoever has the most money can do whatever they want”.

      To the Capitalist, “free market” means “freedom to oppress and prevent any and all competition”. It’s nothing more than Randian-tinged doublespeak.

        True enough. American’s have been given just enough at large to think of themselves as ‘global elite’, and so it’s no surprise how many of us act a bit spoiled once we’re faced more directly with the reality.

        At the very least perhaps we’ll get a wakeup call, for those who need it. I hope.
