Yeah, I am for social justice. But I'm also for a free market. What I'm asking for are checks and balances so that society doesn't pay the price for capitalism running amok. We've witnessed a situation where losses were socialized and gains were privatized. And that's certainly not my idea of a free market. If you take risks, you bloody well can pay out of your own pocket. It's also not my idea of a free market to create monopolys. If you can no longer make a conscious choice between products or services, it's ultimately bad for the consumer. And ultimately I'm against subsidizing businesses. If your business isn't able to run under it's own steam, it's got no business being a business.
