Once the succubus that is government lies under the internet it pollutes and taints all that is free about this environment.
Try and think of only three government programs that haven't grown beyond original promises and costs or increased the power originally granted to themselves, by themselves.

A Free Market does not have regulations



A common refrain that I hear in the wakes of the "Global Financial Crisis" and Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" is that the Free Market does not work.

No Free Market was allowed to happen. There were regulations that still governed business. Businesses also used the force of government for their own gains.

A Free Market does not have regulations imposed on it and it's participants by the use of force.
