“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”

They aren't laissez-faire, they just want slightly different types of control. Deregulating a group and adding some subsidies is just a different way to reward your buddies, but neither is representative of a free market.

I'm not sure how you guys view regulation as a whole, but an inordinate amount of it exists to help corps rather than us.
