In the whole history of capitalism, no one has been able to establish a coercive monopoly by means of competition in a free market...Every single coercive monopoly that exists or ever has existed...was created and made possible only by an act of government...which granted special privileges (not obtainable in a free market) to a man or a group of men, and forbade all others to enter that particular field.
I'm a free market person, a free trader. But if we had a market in California, there would be competition.
You can't have a market without government, because governments create the rules of competition and enforce fairness in the markets, and they build the institutions within which competition takes place.

My father always said 'There's no free lunch.' My father was right. There's no free lunch and there's no free market.

Koch Industries is an amazing business that has succeeded by building a product that customers love dearly. The folks who run Koch are very clear.

If we had a flat tax code rather than a 70,000-page document full of cronyism and favors, bureaucrats and elected officials wouldn't have the power to do you any favors. That's what we need.
