I have a feeling that the MARKETS GOOD, GOVERNMENT BAD is along the same lines as ELEPHANTS GOOD, ICEBERGS BAD in that the two are only correlated by public opinion. I also feel that the difference between communism and democracy is that in one I'm given a dollar, and in the other I'm given a vote. Do I use the dollar to buy the vote or vice versa?
