The
Free Market Hypocrites
While
we say
we are for a free market based upon supply and demand
In reality
, we do not want the market to be free;
we want the market to be controlled -- by us.
In reality
, we do everything we can to constrain the supply, drive up prices, and make exorbitant profits by gouging our customers.
While
we say
we want
no government intervention
In reality
, we are the first pigs to squeal
when someone copies our product
when someone promotes open standards (over ours)
when anyone else tries to pull one of our stunts
when we take too big a risk and lose
when we get caught having gambled with other people's money, livelihood, lives, etc.
when someone else starts to get ahead
when ....
In reality
, we often spend lots and lots of money behind the scenes to get the government to intervene in our favor.
