Capitalistic free markets work very well to set the selling price dependant upon supply and demand. That leaves very little room for legitimate profits. Businessmen use every possible means, including governmental interference, to subvert the free market to their individual advantage. This is why markets must be watched so the crooks cannot cheat by destroying the market's ability to impartially set prices.

Very true!

The crony capitalism that Bush promoted is a serious danger to real capitalism.
