I'll take the market over the yearnings and meanderings and whims of politicians and an overly pliant electorate. Ironically, if the market wasn't so good at creating things and expanding the efficiency and productivity of people, then there would be less calls for bureaucrats. People ought harbor a degree of trepidation when they seek to increase government power over others lest the tables be turned tomorrow.
