    I'm not sure a pure free market can exist if Banks and Insurance companies are part of that free-market.

    Current recession started precisely Banks and Insurance companies abused from they natural dominant position over the work-force. That is decided by politics.

    What if instead "let's give the tax-payers billions to banks so they can keep doing what they do" they gave the tax-payers that money so they could keep buying? I'm sure you'd have much less people in the unemployment queue.

    Who in the end moves the economy? Speculation? Money that does not exist physically? Financial smart-arses that pawn you and your family for 60 years? Or you and me with the bucks we do everyday by hard-work?

    • But not everyone is like that. Not everyone is a risk-taker. Should one leave them to die?Corvo2
    • You can think like that. You're striving on your own. Ok. But should govs think like you? Why have govs then?Corvo2
    • Government is a parasite you cannot live without. It's not your friend though. They are and only care for their own class.raf
    • ..at least that's my view ;)raf
