When you hear Tea-Bagging racists and ignoramuses, and their Rethug cousins extolling the 'free-market' as the cure-all for government programs they hate, just remember that they are pulling a giant-sized con on themselves and their gullible followers.
There is no such thing as the Free-Market! - every American business is assisted by and wallowing in, some form of 'corporate welfare' - ranging from Tax Credits, Tax Subsidies, Tax Loopholes and Tax Rebates, to Farm Subsidies, Federal Earmarks and Depletion Allowances, - all paid for by we, the American taxpayers. And even with all that welfare, they still operate less efficiently than governmental entities like the Police Dept., Fire Dept., Post Office, Veterans Administration, Medicare and Social Security - just to name a few.
The Teabaggers and their enablers, either don't know this or are willfully ignorant so they can continue to nurture their stupidity. They hate personal welfare, which requires means-testing that the needy poor has to qualify for, but they love corporate welfare, most of which is a taxpayer giveaway to businesses who don't need it.
The government that they want to shrink or eliminate, is the same one they quietly have their hands out to for corporate welfare assistance. So if the government is eliminated, who will pay their corporate welfare????? And they want their country back - but from whom? Who took it and when did they lose it?
Oh I know, they lost it when half-black Obama became President and their simpleton minds infected with fissures of racism, couldn't handle it.
But they weren't concerned about losing their country when Bush was robbing them blind with 2 unfunded wars, 2 unfunded tax cuts which mainly benefited the top 2%, and other crimes and misdemeanors. Neither were they concerned when he squandered the $200 billion budget surplus Clinton left him, and saddled Obama with a $1.4 trillion deficit when he left.
Now that they have the House back, we'll see how well they do with their 'free-market' idiocy and other inane sloganeering.
