Is it free enterprise when you have a relatively tiny percentage of the population influencing most of the important political and economic decisions made?
A Free Market is an ideal that will never be completely realized, the best we can hope for is a fair market and that requires enough regulation and oversight to prevent monopolization but not stiffle entrepreneurship and innovation. I don't see the current federal government being any different than the last on patronage and serving their owns special interests at the expense of the overall economy in the long term, if anything it's going to be far worse based on the science behind climate change(which I accept).
And executives often work against their own shareholders, how does that benefit long term economic health, think of Conrad Black living a billionaire lifestyle on a millionaire salary, the money coming from his shareholders.
