I really think the TPers have this myth they’ve created in their mind thanks to people like Beck that this country and other ones at one point unregulated capitalism. After all, the big issue facing the country along with slavery in the 19th century was the issue of a tariff. Unions and guilds have been around since before Marx. I could go on and on. And of course, they never think about the conditions that led to people like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson doing the reforms they did. Unless the TPers like their food unsafe which I doubt.
