The REAL Free Enterprisers

The Democrats are the only major party which really BELIEVES in the free-enterprise system. They want to use government regulations to level the playing field for businesses, leading to all-guns-blazing competition and all the concomitant benefits that arise from a vigorous open market.

The Republicans want to use government as a source of huge, cost-plus, no-bid contracts for their fat-cat friends, favor "voluntary compliance" (IE no compliance at all) with health and safety regulations, and are all too happy to have monopolies instead of competition. You think that free-traders like Milton Friedman are happy with a Republican Party dominated by neo-cons and religious wackos? Think again.
