 Why do many Republicans call themselves free marketers even though their central plan is an altruistic? Well, many free marketers are altruistic because they don't realize that by being an altruist they're undercutting their free market. So a lot of libertarians who, you could argue, yeah, they really are free marketers. They really believe in less of a capitalism or altruists. And they don't understand the extent to which it undermines and undercuts their advocacy. They believe they're supportive of free market. You know, many libertarians in the United States are free marketers, are religious, and embrace the altruism of religion. So now Republicans is different. Republicans want the cachet of being free marketers. They want to think of themselves as, well, I'm for freedom, of course, like the Founding Fathers, I believe in freedom. But you can't touch Medicaid, you can't touch, you know, a little bit of national planning and hey, the Chinese subsidized, so we should probably subsidize. So they want the cachet of being linked to freedom. But they don't have the courage, the conviction to stand by free markets in reality when it actually comes to making decisions. That's why the Republicans tend to be a better opposition party where they can yell all they want free markets, free markets, and vote against the Democrats. But as soon as they get power, they give up on the free market stuff and they just pass everything, regulations, controls and governments spending up the kazoo with no limitations.
