It hasn't always been that way. Markets in the US were relatively free up through the 50s and even in the early 60s. Not totally free, but compared to today. The minimum wage was not intrusive, regulation was more reasonable, and the economy grew like gangbusters.

False, but still doesn't address the point. The most successful countries in the world have the largest central governments, and the most regulation. The least successful countries in the world have little effective regulation, poor rule of law and corruption.

This is reality, not ideology. Simple observation.
