WHAT IS A FREE MARKET?

By definition: "One in which any individual may exchange their products or services by competitive bidding, open to all, without constraint"

A car company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.
A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market.
A shoe company can produce its shoes in south east Asia and claim it's a free market.
A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.
We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico.
We can buy shirts made inBangladesh.
We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries.

HOWEVER .................
It is illegal for senior citizens to purchase prescription drugs from a licensed, legitimate pharmaceutical company in Canada or Mexico.

One wonders if the pharmaceutical companies are paying off politicians.
DUH!
