Karl, this is a frequent complaint of yours directed against both individuals and groups. I suggest when YOU personally start paying their bills and running their finances then YOU can decide who makes how much money.
Personally making the most money I can for myself is why I work. Individual Freedom is worthless without Economic Freedom.

Clearly this editorial does not argue against anyone's right to make a profit, nor pursue "economic freedom." |

Making money by selling goods and services to consumers is the free market. Making money or preventing others from making money by wheedling politicians with gifts and bribes is not the free market.
I don't care whether the desire for a command economy is rooted in a sincere belief or in corruption. Ultimately, it amounts to unequal protection under the law, government-supported monopolies, and the destruction of the marketplace. There can be no competition when some players are bribing the referee. |
