I agree. When free market capitalism is co-opted by politics, you get the result we now have. All the subsidis, incentives
, tax breaks and all the rest were engineered by companies and lobbyists, through the use of pthe political process, including contributi
ons, to "achieve" their favored stattus, in one way or another. Part of this is built around the high corporate tax rates we have, so all the tax breaks and incentives were partly designed to offset that high tax status. In the end, we have a "winners and losers" system, not determined by the transparen
cy and competitiv
eness of the free marketplac
e, but by who is best at getting favored tax breaks and incentives
, even government engineered monopolies
, like Cable and Telco., health care and education. We're lost our way, and here's hoping we can find a leader to get us back on track.
