True free-market capitalism allows for the creation of systemic barriers for emerging businesses. If you want a "free market" generally, you need something out there to preserve the chances for new or small businesses to get into the game. That's what government should be for. Its why we have anti-monopoly laws.

The idea that removing regulation will achieve anything other than piss-broke workers and new robber-barons is to ignore history entirely.
