Do you not think it is possible for the government to aid in the free market?
Such as to enhance competition?

What would the government do to enhance competition? Also, what kind of controls do you envision?

How do you explain this:

The smallest market is a single buyer and a single seller trading one good for another. If you want proof a free market exists, offer the next person you see $20 for anything on his person. Try to haggle and see what is the best thing you can get. Now tell me how government regulation could have improved the process for both parties.

Doesn't that show that the free market is not a theory, that it does exist in practice?
