    Capitalists say the free market is king then they go and make laws to stifle and restrict it so they can make monopolies and gouge everyone out of their hard-earned income.

      Capitalism is an egotistic not an idealistic movement. Capitalists don’t become capitalists because they think it benefits everyone, but because they think it benefits them. That’s why someone like Elon Musk is only against government subsidies if he’s not the recipient.
