"A free market cannot exist in the absence of a government that is chartered to respect and protect the natural rights of individuals." This is total BS, Jorj. I suggest you learn what a "free market" actually IS. en.wikipedia.org "A free market is a market structure *which is not controlled by a designated authority. A free market contrasts with a* *controlled market* *or regulated market, in which government policy intervenes in the setting of prices. An economy composed entirely of free markets is referred to as a free-market economy*. Although free markets are commonly associated with capitalism in contemporary usage and popular culture, markets have been also advocated by socialists and have been included in various different proposals for market socialism, co-op businesses, and profit sharing.
