Yes our government intervenes, True free market capitalism takes advantage of the little people and causes suffering.
Thwe govt used to intervene more on the behalf of the little people. In more recent years it has been intervening on the behalf of business. Answering to the false cry of if it is good for business it is good for America.
That's what I've been telling people for a long time what the neocon philosophy of economics is. What's good for us is what's good for the country or what I fecetously refer to as "The Milo Minderbinder Economic System" from the character in Catch-22.
For the uninitiated, Joe Heller was making fun of the former CEO of General Motors, Charlie Wilson, who said that "What's good for GM is what's good for the country." in a 1952 congressional hearing.
