I can't beat my head against the wall anymore. If you think that the policies of the past 30 years have even closely resembled a free market then I actually feel sorry for you because you have bought a bill of goods.
Do you think the bailouts were "right wing free market solutions"?
That was the largest handout to the 1% that ever took place.
rick - wall is exactly right & this is 1 area that Paul sounds like a theoretical schoolteacher. Like much of right wing ideaology & talking points, it sounds good in theory, but has little basis in reality & actual practices. As if so-called free markets (which don't & have never existed on a natl scale) with no regulation would somehow take care of alot of the problems & all of a sudden corps & big bidness would become transparent, honest & ethical when their bottom line profits have become more paramount to them than ever. I'm not anti-Paul at all & agree with some of his views to 1 degree or another, especially on foreign policy. But he does tend to be at the same time rigid, general & extreme in some of his stances -
