quote:The whole reason free-markets are so superior is that they self-correct and naturally evolve. Of course, artifical intrusion by governments is often detrimental, but the beauty of the FREE market response is that it often finds an ideal manifestations of that intervention, which often really in negative, unintended consequences for those that artificially intervened.
Free trade means that markets can "fight back" for themselves.
Knowing it is illogical to respond with artifical intervention, when we know there will likely be negative, unintended consequences as a result.
Not to mention, it's ridiculous to say "I'm for free markets" then advocate for the opposite. At least be honest and say, "I'm not really that much for free markets."
