I have not had time to look though the many postings
you have put up on the previous thread on this over
the past weekend so I cringe to think of what might be
in those.
I am sorry, I do not mean to be rude, but the above
statement is absurd and downright dishonest.
FREE ENTERPRISE?
You call a GOVERNMENT PANEL setting prices FREE
ENTERPRISE?
I am sorry, but that is something that is done under
socialism/communism.
You call an CARTEL of private corporations that have
de-facto control over a government sanctioned MONOPOLY
that the cartel's competitors have to go through in
order to transact business and get paid an example of
FREE ENTERPRISE?
I am sorry, but that is actually an example of a
varient of socialism known as fascism.
Free enterprise is where the only role of government
is to enforce legally binding contracts and allows the
voluntary decisions of all of the many millions of
players in the marketplace to determine how much all
of the participants get paid and what sort of prices
they are able to get away with charging.
There is nothing free enterprise about this whole
sordid mess.
I don't know why you shill for such dasterdly people -
but may the rest of your life be spent listening to
nothing but the sort of music one finds on commercial
FM radio. You very richly deserve such a fate as that
is exactly the consequences you have been asking for.
