Shouldn't we be leaving those people to their own devices? Shouldn't the free market, totally unfettered, decide their fate?

If you follow the fate of those who chose to leave the city, that's what's happening.

I think people are taking this "free market" thing too far. We are allready in a system of taxes so why would we just give up now and let all the taxpers suffer even more with out any help. I dont agree with this 60+ Billion Dollar relief plan at all but just this "free market" idea is unrealistic given the times we live in. I'm a "free market" republican but there is a line, you can't go back to the industrial age where there was no govt regulation or intervention. While it seems GREAT, you have to have an some oversight, because you can't just drop everything now.

I'm all for a free market, but not for a chaotic nation, and an unrealistic idea. I still would love to reduce govt a lot, I would say over 50%, but to have NO govt intervention would be crazy, minimal would be optimal.

We have a chaotic nation right now. You're not a free market Republican if you support Bush because he is one of the most socialist presidents in history.

I'm more libertarian than anything else. I detest Bush and the war. I guess you could call me an old-style conservative with some liberal opinions on stuff like abortion, drugs and sodomy laws.
