	I find it beyond laughable that you quote me as saying "falling for their lies" when I never said it.<br />

	But I'm not sure what "market based economies" even means.  There has never been such a thing as a "free market" in this country.  The economy always flows from the market, but the right/left dichotomy just involves which way the policies of government will lean.  For the past 30-40 years that lean has been almost exclusively rightward.  That's been the effect of the weird theory of trickle-down economics, which you seem to have internalized to a large degree.<br />

	The right has been very successful in pushing the idea that raising taxes on anyone, at any time, is a terrible idea.  It's just a stupid idea that has done a lot of damage to this country because the theory behind it is pure shit.
