Oh boy, I really want to hear how you think the "Free Market" solves this problem.
Remember kids: If it's broken, apply Free Market liberally to the affected areas.
- spectrum1234 10y agoUh..get rid of the government involved in all these tax laws. Obviously? Are you suggesting complicated taxes isn't the government's fault?
- rtpg 10y agoI think the implication is that countries that espouse their "free market"-ness end up with a lot of regulatory capture. This, telecoms, healthcare. A bunch of people with a lot of money have been able to lock in their positions. It sure feels like pulling out of the church of laissez-faire economics would let us, say, pass laws with things like price controls (or just nationalizing the whole industry!). An aside: complicated taxes aren't the opposite of "free market". For example, giving tax incentives to new companies can help make a market more free by reducing the cost of entry.
- chongli 10y agoSorry, you're never going to have a society where the government is a 100% neutral referee and everybody else is a part of the 'free market'. As long as there is an incentive to rig the game, people are gonna rig it.
