You are very trusting aren't you?

How many times has Microsoft been in court?

Big business steals from the poor.

Big business steals from the poor.

And what opportunities haven't Microsoft given to poor and people living under strict laws today, in Iran and China for example and on freedom of expression. It has included the entire world and done so many more positive than negative things for our world, these are things we should look at and be thankful for.

so free market healthcare is clearly not working in the US.

We don't have Free Market health care in the US.

 

[rationalist]

It is very confusing.

I thought you had to buy insurance for healthcare from private companies or pay the provider.

Our system doesn't meet the definition of a free market: Markets that are free of all government regulations except those which protect the consumer from force and fraud.

If you had a truly free market, companies, banks and the like would end up going bankrupt if they ****ed up instead of being able to pass their failures off on the taxpayers. Facing that reality, they wouldn't have done the stupid and fraudulent things that they did, which would have rendered many of our current bubbles stillborn.

Which makes it all the more ironic when people blame Capitalism and Free Markets for the failures and problems created by a "Mixed" economy.
