[QUOTE="Jones, post: 247942, member: 4805"] Just wanted to point out that your health insurance and your (quite high) hourly wage has been procured for you by a labor union, which is anathema to most free market purists. The whole concept of labor unions (working people banding together to get a fair shake from the capitalist business magnates who believe that labor(you) is a commodity to be purchased at the lowest price possible) is based in socialism and marxism. We've never had a true "free market" in this country, and I suspect you wouldn't much like it of we did, unless you're Donald Trump or someone of similar wealth. Or you're a big fan of unregulated child labor and the on the job injuries that result from a lack of labor laws. There are generally three types of people who you find extolling the the wonders of the free market: 1) Ivory tower intellectuals who don't have to work for a living; 2) Working class folks who are unclear on the concept; 3) Rich people making a fortune off the labor of the afore mentioned folks. Carry on..... [/QUOTE]
