Why is it so difficult to get the concept of free enterprise? It's real easy if you free your mind of liberalism. We have about 280 million citizens in this country. That's quite a large pool of talent. They are your moms, dads, brothers, sisters, etc.. A free market allows the best and brightest to rise to the top. In the past, if you really tried hard, you may have been able to reach the pinnacle of your profession... and get rewarded with pay (profits to some people).
When the government intervenes and places obstacles in your way, then replaces you (with their political supporters), what are the chances that their choices will be as talented or committed as you? You may have spent your whole life studying and preparing for the career of your dreams, only to get replaced by someone that may have passed the civil service exam with the highest score, but really wanted to be in a different career path.
In a government controlled economy, politicians will decide every aspect of our lives... Keep in mind that politicians don't know ANYTHING except how to work the system, sell, and get elected. If that's not scary to you, than you deserve what you get!!
