And SO easy to debunk. It's SO easy to attack the idea of the Free Market and construct logical arguments backed with real world examples to explain why it's such a shitty, unworkable idea that opens the door for massive abuse.

And when you're talking to a true believer, it all goes in one ear and out the other.
