I don't need to redefine what free market means. It was defined a long time ago and something you should have learned before entering high school.

Not sure what "go after the business" means.

In a free market, consumers can choose to patronize any business they choose to or choose not to and for any reason they choose to.

But there will always be competition. Monopolies are almost always started by and sustained by government.

And yes, no corporation is too big to fail.

No. Nobody should be able to harm people with impunity. Free markets do not remove the need to have government protecting the rights of the people. So if a company sells you a defective product, you have every right to have that harm addressed.

No, we would not be isolationists. That's a whole different topic.

We hear all the time about the Global Markets and also about the few Multinational Corporations that pretty much control a large share of the worlds markets. Who also own many politicians in many countries to rig the markets in their favor.


Good Luck on getting them out of DC

You have it backwards my friend.

It was the Multinational Corporations and those with Deep Pockets that put them there to begin with, not the average American.

Look who the Big Money Powers are pushing to the American People now:

Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton and Romney
No American's have even voted and these are the cockroaches they are pushing on the American People via the media, propped up by Banking and Corporate Thugs

All sellouts to this country.


The Trans Pacific Partnership is another example, where politicians are not even privy to the details, where it is being negotiated by Unelected Multinational Corporations in secret.

Which also goes against the Constitution where policies are being drafted in secret that effect all nations.


The Corporations I speak of are:

The 147 Companies That Control Everything

Quote:
They discovered that global corporate control has a distinct bow-tie shape, with a dominant core of 147 firms radiating out from the middle. Each of these 147 own interlocking stakes of one another and together they control 40% of the wealth in the network. A total of 737 control 80% of it all. The top 20 are at the bottom of the post. This is, say the paper’s authors, the first map of the structure of global corporate control.

There have been poisoned waters in West Virginia due to the coal mines that the poor people draw from and again nothing is being done about it.


So you are saying the poisoning would no longer happen in a Free Market?
Wow. That wasn't even remotely the argument I was making..... Pollution will happen no more what kind of market is in place.

Trading with other countries and theirs with ours causes the markets to be intertwined.
If any trading nation is not practicing Free Market Economics, then there would be no Free Market either.
No. Not at all. In fact I would live to hear more about why you believe this.
