No I didn't. It's highly regulated capitalism. Winners love it, because it creates a level playing field. Losers hate it 'cause they can't cheat and rip off customers. Now there are a lot of countries with very lax regulation. Food and drinking water and tooth paste can make you sick ... but it's a free market!!! There are no free markets anymore. Your example of food, water and toothpaste that make you sick are all under socialist governments. And your assertion of leveling the playing field is a joke. The regulations create the monstrosities like Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Most of our debt was accumulated under Republican Presidents... I can show you the chart if you don't believe me. What you liberals don't seem to understand is that many conservatives understand that many Republicans are just as bad as democrats. We want them to stop spending money on crap we can't afford too. OK I'll ask really, really nice, pretty please which of the 202 other countries on earth do you think has a better government than the USA? I love the USA. There is no country that I think is better. And I want to stop the progressive control freaks from changing it anymore. If we could go back to the USA before Obamacare was passed and then say "no more changes" I would would work with what we've got. No cap & trade, no obamacare, no more union preferences, just leave it alone. If you love the USA so much, why do you want to change it? Why are your reasons for wanting change any less of an indication that you hate the USA then what you've asserted about me? Oh, I forgot, you are an admitted hypocrite. I guess you don't need to answer that one.
