Lazyfaire is correct when he says "The free market assumes only that people will act out of self-interest. Competition ensures fair and reasonable." But as Alan Greenspan said, his biggest mistake was assuming that people would act out of self interest rather than greed. And certainly competition ensures a fair and reasonableeconomy. That is why most business' today concentrate on limiting or eliminating competition by buying up competitors or forcing them out of business.
Capitalism has become a game instead of a business. The goal is to see how far you can push the envelop without getting caught. And when the envelop finally falls over the edge, everyone wants a do over.

Posted on: Obama is still largely unknown

And McCain is the guy who is going to give him the mortgage. Now who do you want to elect, the guy smart enough to take a good deal when he sees one, or the guy who is stupid enough to make a bad deal because he thinks he can make a buck off it.

PS: Compare the John McCain of 2008 to the John McCain of 2000 and tell me what he really stands for. I got very confused when I tried it.
