>> oo bad it only lives on the fiction shelf of your local public library. Standard liberal nutjob response. You've worked all your lives to kill the free market, making inroads, but still unsuccessful. And you say, "There is no free market." I guess it is a kind of hypocrisy, I don't know what it is, but it is a pretty bad argument. It is true, you killed the free market in health care. And just look at the mess. But we've seen free markets flourish in other places. The AT&T monopoly was killed, and look at communications today. The Internet was nothing when in government hands, the free market took and turned it into something great. Now, the government wants it back to kill the free market. And you tinker around the edges with everything from cigarettes to fast food, but you haven't managed to kill the markets yet. The free market is strong and resilient. It can be killed but you have to consistently stomp it out everywhere you see it. And you haven't been able to do that yet. Bernie Sanders would if he could. You'd be right there with him. But most people have the gumption to recognize that government action generally cannot improve free market processes.

"...How cute. Too bad it only lives on the fiction shelf of your local public library. You'll find a unicorn before you find a free market..." How true...a free market to these predators mean no government interference while they are free to rig prices etc. Free from government regulation and oversight.

One problem is the people who don't WANT a free market and you're one of them. You asked if I was coal or oil .. I don't care. If solar made economic sense, I'd be "for" it as much as I am for coal and oil and natural gas and nuclear. And I am for everyone who likes solar for any reason to use it. What gets me is when someone who wants solar mandated on others but chose to NOT put it on his own business property.
