&gt;  the presumed arbiter of what constitutes &quot;free markets&quot; or &quot;economic freedom&quot;<p>This assumption is ludicrous. I can&#x27;t even imagine the thought process that would lead you to think that that makes any sense.  Being the loudest proponent of your vision of a concept doesn&#x27;t make you a good arbiter of what constitutes it:  in fact it makes you a terrible one.<p>Not that I have as low an opinion of Heritage as I do of them, but do you think the Westboro Baptist Church is the &quot;presumed arbiter&quot; of what constitutes Christianity, simply because they shout the loudest about God?
