Why do Americans believe that our economic system is a pure free market economy?
We have not had a pure “Free Market Economy” in the 200+ years we have been a country. It is something that many Democrats acknowledge but you are the first Republican I have ever heard acknowledge this. I have never said I believed our economy was a pure free market economy but it is the closest thing to it that I have ever seen. Both Canada’s and Mexico’s economies are far more restrictive than ours.
