I'm not condemning capitalism (if that's what you really mean), but like any system in a democracy, there should be checks and balances.  Whatever complaints one may have about government interference, our government is supposed to be a democracy.  If one thinks otherwise, then I think they have a different argument.  But I maintain that "unfettered free enterprise" IS a cancer, just like unfettered mitosis is a cancer.  --Jon Alexandr
