(53,661 posts)This Pope and I are on the same wavelength on this. It's why I can't stand Libertarians.
The only liberty and freedom they are working on is for the rich and powerful, with the rest of being held in servitutde to market forces are rigged.
There is no such thing as a free market except in the public mind. In each nation, the starved government or the powerful determine what the market will be like. The fabled input of consumer choice to affect the market or social power has failed over and over.
People don't want to beg and be screwed over for the essentials of life while they can clearly see the wasteful way of the rich and powerful are busy destroyting the planet and the living on it. And having a great time.
They have NO real in decision making.Things that keep them sick, poor, anxious and worse.
