It is not really free enterprise -- it is a stacked deck with price fixing, unbelievable executive compensation, interlocking directorships, etc., with the taxpayers paying through the neck.

Well how about that? I agree these are the way things are now. It appears things will get worse if we stay on our current course.

Let's agree to quit our current course and return our country to governance in strict accord with our Constitution. For example: there is no provision in our Constitution that empowers government to limit how much and when some but not others can contribute to the election campaigns of their preferred candidate; there is no provision in our Constitution that empowers our government to transfer money or the things or services money buys from some to others; and, there is no provision in our Constitution that empowers government to tax some people's dollars of income at a different rate than other people's dollars of income.

Amazing how many humans want to keep trying nationalization or collectivism or socialism or communism no matter how many times these governmental schemes have proven to be failures.

I think the fundamental mental fixation of these humans is their propensity to covet rather than applaud and root for the accomplishments of others.

The heart of the free market you champion is based on coveting thy neighbor's everything. You're talking yourself in circles.

My neighbor's wife is pretty hot, and she looks good in a bathing suit by their pool.

The nature of competition is based on you outdoing your neighbor (figuratively speaking, they don't need to live next door). It is in the case of free market measured in material possession, and capitol gain. Without coveting your neighbor's goods, the system would be without context. Free market requires more than one person; it requires this context to define success or failure.

No salesman is simply happy that their product sells. They are only happy if their product sells at or over the market value or I sell enough under the market value (but over the wholesale/overhead) at a high enough volume to make a greater profit. These things can't be defined without a second party to covet, or be coveted by.
