Re: Bob Sullivan - another left wing reporter

The biggest Myth of all: That we have a "Free Market" economy.

We have a economy that likes to trumpet "Free Market" to keep regulations away so they can abuse at will, but there's nothing "Free" about it because a Free Market system ASSUMES that you have unlimited opportunity for competition as it's main check and balance.

And in many industries, this simply isn't the case.

The Free Market system is as much an unachievable Utopia as the so called Communist Market system. Both are totally impossible to achieve given human nature.

the three major forms of running things(capitolism, Socialism, Communism) are all impossible in their most pure forms. because they are run by humans. and lets face it we can be evil greedy creatures when wealth and or power is to had.
