The free market economy is a beautiful thing. Just take
             a moment to think about all the different forces that
             have to come together on any given day just so the foods
             you need for an average breakfast are present at your
             local supermarket. Potatoes from Idaho, oranges from
             florida, bannanas from Costa Rica, coffee from Colombia,
             all these foods arrive not only in a reasonable time
             frame, but at a reasonable price as well. All totaled,
             each different item on your breakfast table probably
             involved hundreds of different people, all simplely
             trying to make a buck, to have it appear in your local
             supermarket. If some sort of bureacratic organization
             was charged with trying to organize the way food stuffs
             are moved around the world, surely it would be no where
             near as effiecent as the current free market system,
             that only rests upon everyone trying to basically screw
             everyone else. All this international trade is done for
             the most part without regulation, and where there is
             regulation, in the form of tariffs, its purpose is to
             inhibit the natural outside forces to protect local or
             national interests. Therefore in my opnion, I
             personally subscribe to the Laissez-Faire mindset that
             the government should only interfere when absolutely
             necessary, and even then it should proceed with caution.
             Why mess with a system that works so flawlessly and
             efficiently on its own? Sure, at times subsidies are
             needed, but these should be short lived, so the
             industries they help start can begin to flourish on
             their own, and became successful independent components
             of the free market economy. In the case of monopolies, I
             think they should be left alone until they prove
             dangerous to the populous at large. Companies work very
             hard to become the best in their field, and if they are
             rewarded by market dominance, so be it, they earned it.
