Yes? I mean, the free market has always operated within the constraints of public policy. Law mandated an end to slavery, the free market adapted. Law mandated a minimum wage, the free market adapted. I see no reason for why the imposition of yet another tax would make the market any less free then it always have been. It will adapt given the constraints applied.
