The free market system does not relieve you of your responsibility as a human being.
I think that the "Free Market" system DOES relieve you of any responsibility to anyone other than yourself.

And, that is why we don't have totally Free Markets...they are all constrained by various factors, including government regulations and criminal laws and investigative bodies. The question is, how much regulation is the correct amount?

I think that the US is going too far towards the Free Market, and allowing the 1%, and especially the top of the 1%, to wield too much power.

Many of them are screwing others for their benefit, and too many times doing it legally, but immorally. One example of illegal but immoral, would be to pay enough money to our Congress and other government officials, to get laws changed so that previously illegal actions are now legal. Then, they can legally take advantage of others for their own personal gain. This is WRONG!

The more a government is corrupt, the worse off the country is, as a whole.

The three most corrupt countries on earth are North Korea, Somalia and Afghanistan. I would not want to live in those countries. The least corrupt countries are the Scandinavian countries.
