However, free markets are not working for the good of this country Nonsense. For you any deviation from absolute perfection for free markets means that they don't work. Why don't you apply the same standard to government action Free markets are for trading and making money. There is nothing to suggest that they provide a moral good to the country other than as a secondary benefit. They are intended to benefit most the people who participate directly in their activities. For years, people like you have sucked on the koolaid of free markets believing every little fable taught to you. And you have managed to convince or intimidate most of the rest of the population into believing the same fables. However, free markets have managed to ream the ass of this nation badly in the last few years, and FINALLY, Americans are beginning to question the koolaid you all have been dispensing. Don't worry.....your free markets won't disappear. However, they won't be quite as free as they have been in the past.
