Still want a free market and Internet?

The call for a free market economy and Internet has been constant. Look at the results of freedom. A few people made a lot of money while the rest of us will be paying for it for a long time. The CEOs of the banks, share companies and a few others would of made a killing in the last 10 years. While the rest of us were victims. Yes your house is worth more today than it was 5 years ago, but try selling it and try buying something for less. The increase in value is mostly meaningless.

Stocks and shares were sky rocketing in value, a value that was fictional. Recent events are the results of letting an industry police itself.

As for the Internet, well we all know the results of having a free unregulated Internet. It's free for people who want to steal. And use the law as a cover.

I don't have the answers. I only ask the questions. We need some regulation to stop the thieves stealing money out of of our pockets. While allowing us to put money in.
