blog comment on free market grandstanding....

I made here
I next to never see a "capitalist" support the free market.

They love their patent protections that keep the costs high for consumers. They love restrictions on the free flow of labor--which would for example help bring the cost of going to your local doctor down if we let foriegn doctors in the country since they'd be willing to work for a cheaper wage.

Take John McCain who claims "a free market" approach. Thats nonsense. He just wants a market approach that is full of protectionisms and subsidies that protect certain people in the market. It has nothing to do with "free market" theory. He either doesn't know much about the theory or doesn't mind using propagandha to buy votes on the cheap.

More market sure... but less "free market" grandstanding from those who really don't want a free market at all.
Go read the post... the blogger has some good points in his post...
