re: #311 lawhawk

Let’s not forget the oft-repeated but totally bogus talking point that COMPETITION LOWERS PRICES!!!!1!!!

There is no such thing in the actual, unregulated “free market” that wingnuts worship. Ask them to explain why all the competition dried up and blew away everywhere Walmart opened, without any government interference whatsoever.

Unregulated “free market” just means the creation of monopolies or territorial fiefdoms.

Anyone remember “Atlas Shrugged”? There was no competition in Galt’s Gulch, just one of everything.
