Because democracy. Also, because corruption.

you make a good point op. free market 4 life

Free enterprise doesn't apply to government, I think.

That's all the kibble you get from me, you troll you!

4chan sucks horribly.

>>2420140

Go back to bed, Ron. You lost.

>>2420120

Look up "bribery, solicitation of."

SUDDENLY, DEMOCRACY.

here in illinois, we call him blowjobovich.
Why is it illegal? because it's a democracy. Omamba was pushing for a special election, and Blowjobovich was sitting there thinking of appointing himself if he couldn't get at least a million, Blaming it on his family hurting financially.

In a truly free market, government wouldn't exist. Government is the chain that binds people to state-sponsored slavery, and the free market as described by Milton Friedman (Nobel Prize winner) declares all government anathema.

There's a reason The Fountainhead was about an architect and not a politician.

That's what my mom's comment was: "Only a Democrat could get into this kind of scandal (she being a Democrat). There are so many ways to legally sell favors, why would he do something so flamboyantly stupid?"

Haha, what the fuck OP?
When did America have an unfettered free market?


Welcome to the world of trolling, I can see you're a beginner here. Lol, strawman.

>>2420298
It doesn't, but it should. Thus, I don't see why anyone who actually supports a free market (ostensibly Republicans) start throwing piles of shit at this guy for following the free market credo.

>>2420324
None of us support a completely de-regulated free market.

Quit being a dumbass, it's not helping you, lol.
There's a reason we call the government the government, and the private industry, the private industry.

My first response to finding out about this was "wow, how clever."

>>2420352
What are you, a fucking socialist? All regulations do is create stumbling blocks between the people and their interaction with the Market. Government promotes market inefficiency, and a completely deregulated Free Market with no stumbling blocks to create market failure works with 100% efficiency.

I mean, look at the auto industry begging for handouts because of the unions. If the government 75 years ago turned a blind eye and let the unionization movement be crushed, we'd have greater market efficiency in the auto industry and they wouldn't be begging for money today.

Guy looks like a cabbage patch, etc.

i was about to write a proper response to you op, but instead im just going to tell you that you are stupid.

>>2420377
Your trolling is terrible.
Just give up, lol.

>>2420247
There's no Nobel Prize in Economics by the way. Probably for a good reason too, judging by the shitty ideas economists come up with.

>>2420545
So your only defense to my claim that you're a socialist is to wave your hands and call me a troll?

Figures. When your argument collapses you leftist scum resort to name calling.

>>2420377

0/10

Learn to troll, lolbertarian.

>>2420434
lol i like that response sir
as for OP's post i couldn't care less as im not an amerikkkan

Take my word from this humble lurker from Illinois, this guy is a grade-a mother fucker, and he's more corrupt than any Illinois politician in a long time, and that's saying something.

>>2420377
And workers in the factories would have lower wages and get less benefits.

Go back to gaia and hone your techniques
On any other forum this would have caused a shitstorm
But 4chan is above your level... for now, grasshopper

For the record, corruption is incompatible with the free market.

For a free market to exist various laws need to be enforced to a certain degree of efficiency. If you can bribe cops and politicians to bypass these laws then you are damaging the free market.

Why am I reminded of this?

Can you hear the drums fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And Im not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
Theres no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando

Now were old and grey fernando
And since many years I havent seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the rio grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
Theres no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando

Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando...

That's why I laugh whenever people say "Pure Communism doesn't work" or "It looks good on paper hurr hurr"

Because pure Capitalism (or a Market Economy for those of you anal enough to distinguish the two) doesn't work either. Pure Market Economy, of course, embraces Laissez-faire. That would mean that the economy is free of government regulation, allowing the rich to accumulate the most money possible and distributing the wealth at the top and leaving it there. For the economy to be "equitable" (not equal) there must be some regulation.

There's a fire to your left and a blizzard to your right... where do you want to be?

As for OP... You best be trolling nigger.

>>2420981
In a truly free market, people working in the market rise and fall according to their worth as agents of economic productivity. The invisible hand of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman slots everyone into their role in the free market clockwork, and they should be grateful for it.

>>2421024
Do people actually believe this?

It sounds more like religion.

>>2420586
lol'd. obvious irony.

>>2421024
I disagree. You've heard the old saying "It takes money to make money" Well, I whole-heartedly agree with that statement. Without Governmental regulation, there would be no public schools, if you think in the extremes (taxation is a way for the government to affect the economy). Meaning all people without money for public education would be doomed to a constant cycle of "Work all day, make babies, rinse, repeat"

In fact, I attribute the US's current economic recession to deregulation of the market. I don't blame any specific party or anything, because it wouldn't do any good... but I believe the action we've taken up to this point engenders these sort of ups and downs.
