Quote:If that were true cigarette companies wouldn't exist.

 

The free market is a great tool when there is true competition but it always tend towards a monopoly where a single company takes control of most or the entire market. That's why you need at least a base level of regulation so as the at least ensure fair competition and prevent price gouging. 

 

I'm not sure how it works in European nations but state side monopolies are supposed to be illegal, what happens is very large companies become contributors to campaigns and find ways to have government endorse their monopolies. That's the problem we don't have true free market capitalism at all anymore, every field has become saturated with crony capitalism or blend of large corporations working with government.

 

it's why I stand to abolish almost all forms of modern government from the Department of Education, to Transportation to the NSA, the Homeland Security, the FBI the CIA and the IRS get ride of them all.

 

Like I said

 

Anarcho-Capitalist.
