Like I said, I'm not opposed to what you're saying, it just seems like calling it the free market is just distracting from your point, which is to solve this with regulations. The contradiction kind of jumped out at me, and it sounds like it has jumped out at others before based on what you said. Your original comment could be paraphrased as "regulate the market and then let the unregulated market do its magic." Why not just avoid all that and just take out the "free" part? Its the market part thats doing the work.
