It is true, I am a believer in the free market. However, I do have many qualms with the approach that the average American holds towards the free market. I think in an ideal free market, there should be total freedom in industry/corporations, however when certain criteria is met, due to embezzling, corporate fraud and criminal-like behavior, there should be immediate intervention by the government. Without the ability for the Government to get involved leaves a huge gray area for possible and definite criminal behavior in organizations. Things, like extra bonuses, when the common man is in debt, because of the very people who are getting bonuses…really just piss me right off. It doesn’t make practical sense. I think business should be able to run without intervention, on a day-to-day basis, without having to keep every minutiae in check. On the contrary, I think that the government shouldn’t bail out banks that go in debt as a direct cause of their corruption. The whole thing is paradoxical and dizzying to think about.
But for a person to say that the free market should be allowed to just go, and do whatever it wants, regardless of its legality, is simply absurd.
