Level Playing Field

I am for the free market. I am against crony capitalism. I am not a corporatist. The United States is not a free market anymore because it is not a fair market. Set-asides and rent-seeking are the order of the day in America. Almost every major project is either funded by government, has a portion funded by government, or has concessions granted by government that grant lower taxes, waive impact fees others would have to pay, or provide an effective monopoly status before a company or corporation spends a cent for anything other than lobbying and the slanted feasibility studies that tout how great the project will be and how government should support it with money confiscated from taxpayers. I oppose subsidies for billionaires and multi-billion dollar corporations.
