All right, I know you were mostly just bushbashing when you wrote that, but I'm gonna give you this spiel anyway, assuming there's some commie in you that needs to be set free:
Complete and total economic control simply does not work. It has proven itself time and again to suck, and suck hard. When a government relies entirely on its alleged power to control the masses, corruption is the only thing down the path. But does that mean that the only other alternative is some hard-right republican form of anarchic liberty*? Of course not. Humans naturally tend to gravitate towards some kind of control whenever there is a lack of it, anyway. It's in our psyche. There is somewhere in the middle of the road that accomodates both our need for freedom and competition, and the need for control. Be a moderate, pansy.
*I know this not what Bush is for. I'ts just for the sake of argument.
