If the free market system continued, the greedy monopolies would continue having the hold on us they have today. I don't care what system we end up having. I want to be able to live a life without owing for some medical procedure I couldn't afford.
I don't hate the rich for being rich. I hate how they achieve these riches. There is a point where one can survive without getting more riches. I don't think that point is an option to the rich people I'm talking about. I think that money and power are very addictive. I think one forgets compassion when one puts profit over how many people are starving right here in this neighborhood.
I agree that a free market allows any number of companies to cover that product. Who decides to check the profits? Who watches if the actual profits match how much business the company had? Does the company have any offshore bank accounts - where no taxes are taken out?
Can the company have the product manufactured in China? If it's a free market, none of these questions would be asked.

I just saw it. It was done just as Obama was coming into power. It was an eye-opening movie for me.
