That's what I was going to say. Gubmit regulatory interference is just going to mess up the hallowed, efficient, automatic "free market" forces which, if left alone, will ensure freedom and prosperity for all. Just look around and you will surely see the corporate benevolence and widespread prosperity and security that is the natural result of this, certainly one of the world's most unregulated markets. And if that is not enough, just mosey over to PARF where a host of economics experts will bring you up to speed on the "invisible hand" doctrine.

Ancient Greece had Mount Olympus with Zeus and the rest of the Gods.

In the Middle Ages, we had the geocentric universe.

And today, we have "self-regulating markets."
