Free Market Baloney

This video is a crock of shit.

Eloquently stated, but sorry, Regan changed the rules that created the mess we are in today.

Rob, don't waste too much time or effort on this what0 character here, he is obviously drinking some serious collectivist kool-aid. I'm sure he's muttered the sentence "Things would be different if I we're in charge." plenty of times. People like him are usually useless to talk to, they suffer from 2 major thinking problems. 1 They disconnect the intent of their actions from the results. 2 They want to have their cake, and eat it too.
I'm sure he is a big fan of Stalin and Mao. Haha.

meh, i got time to waste and he is a cheap source of entertainment lol. i find his comments amusing basically his argument is. buying and selling is a dangerous activity therefore all the power needs to be put in the hands of a few to control the market, otherwise people could get hurt. we could apply this logic to all of lifes activities. maybe there needs to be rules implemented for having sex and set up another government agency for it lol

very cheap source. I'd suggest going after some anarchists to debate with, they're usually much more entertaining, also I find it refreshing to argue about why you actually do need a government, since 99% of the time I argue why the government is too big.

there is a really basic answer to that queastion. government is necessary because people are fucking stupid. mainly stupid people who listen to other other fuckwit politicians, who convince them it is a good idea to attack innocent people of another nation

@robertwc82, It just seems to me, that if I accept your definition of "Free Markets" for early man, that all I have to do is walk over to my neighbors house with a flower I picked from my garden and sell it to him for 10 cents, and this qualifies as me living in a "Free Market" I don't think it's that simple. But, I do agree with your basic definition of a "Free Market"

Here, I have a way to settle this dispute where we both are right Rob.
I'm talking about a "Free Economy" and you're talking about a basic simple "Free Market" that can be as small as 2 individuals. A "Free Economy" though, requires much more than just 2 people voluntarily trading. Sounds like an even trade to me! What do you think?

yeah, thats exactly what i am saying, civilization doesnt run on a free market economy but actual free market trade has been around a long time and it works, there is no reason an economy wouldnt run on free market principles, some people dont want to compete in a free market, they would rather use force of violence to cut out the competition (you know like in the good ol days of guilds ect)
have a few individuals controlling a market only serves to benefit a few individuals not society

ps. if you think im an arrogant cockhead and not the greatest person in the world, you are probably correct yet that has no baring on the facts.
