"free market" obama

"There was a time when "free market" meant the functioning of the private sector without the intrusion of government. Now Obama tells us that capitalism really means government control of the private sector. What Obama has espoused in Las Vegas is nothing less than state capitalism -- the same relationship between government and business that exists in every totalitarian society.

Whoever wrote Obama's speech ought to be awarded the Orwell Prize for political deception. The American people have soundly rejected Obama's brand of socialism, so why not call it something else? Call it free-market capitalism, even if it is state capitalism. Call it support for the private sector, even if it is control. Call it free enterprise, even if it is socialism."
