Let's be clear...

Free market capitalism helped create the middle class.
Free market capitalism created the concept of supply and demand.
Free market capitalism allowed consumers to make choices: consumer freedom to decide what to buy, or not to buy or boycott.
Free market capitalism made America the richest country in the world.
Free market capitalism allowed for entrepreneurship, innovation, industry, advanced technologies, faster communications and better services.
Free market capitalism encourages fair competition in the market place.

So what is wrong with free market capitalism? Certainly not the concept and idea which created so much wealth, freedom and prosperity. But something did go terribly wrong. What went wrong? What went wrong is America and it's government have slowly abandoned free market capitalism and replaced it with ideological agendas. The American government started to spend too much fiat currency, created by the Federal Reserve out of thin air backed by nothing of value. Over the last four decades the government wanted more and more centralized control over the entire economy. Now the government wants QE to infinite, endless debt creation. What old timers used to call insolvency. The same government now bails out corrupt insolvent banks and corporations by the way. That's the problem. What we see being done today flies absolutely contrary to the traditions of free market capitalism.

Free market capitalism has nothing to do with governments running and micromanaging the economy. Free market capitalism has nothing to do with bailing out corrupt insolvent entities, after all, that's why bankruptcy clauses existed for so long, if you cannot fairly compete you sell your company and assets and start over. Who decides who goes bankrupt in a free market? Consumers do! The very notion of governments defying consumer will and bankruptcy clauses to bailout their cronies is disgusting, it is the exact polar opposite of a free market.

To save America and our way of life, we need the free market back, and that means we need less government interference in our economy, we need to cut wasteful governmental spending, we need to bring back consumer choice and abandon ideological agendas because ideological agendas often ruin and destroy economies and their nations.
