The government is the people. We can stop them. If we had a government by the people for the people. The rich manipulate the market by using the government to create laws and regulations to favor them.
Take record label companies for instance, the government is trying to push legislation that would "help" these dieing companies. Like SOPA. The people don't need these media moguls anymore yet the government is trying to subsidies the dying business so they don't fail, they should fail because the market has no need for them.
Same thing with WallStreet and the Banks, if they failed which they did, they should have not got a dime of our money, but they did. This is not free market, this is a rigged market where WE are the ones getting shafted.
My ice cream parlor failed because I opened it in Antarctica, I want the government to bail me out cause I failed. They wouldn't bail out my ice cream shoppe. I don't pay enough of their election campaign contributions. US government is a perversion of its original intent.
If a certain product, service, or any type of production can not sustain itself, then it is not a viable thing and the market will correct itself. I don't know when the last time we had a true free market was. It had to be before 1913. Once a private entity controls your money supply your free market is dead. Then that entity gets laws passed like the Legal Tender Act where only Federal Reserve notes are allowed for transactions. That's like if I have a gumball machine that made unlimited gumballs and I made the government pass a law that made only gumballs legal tender, and also btw I have the only gumball making machine in the world. I would have complete control muah ha ha ha.
