I am completely impressed with the nature of this debate, not only in its depth of analysis, but also in its civility!

Count me in as one of the libertarians...a big fan of Milton Freidman and Tom Sowell.  To me, individual freedom is the cornerstone of my political beliefs.  99 times out of 100, a careful examination of an economic problem reveals that the problem was not caused by capitalism, but by a failure of government...especially government failing in its key and legitimate roles...national security, internal law and order, public works, and keeping the road clear for free competition.  Of crouse, those same politicians and business leaders preach free enterprise and free markets, but then act to restrict competition.  Free markets, which are non-zero-sum, then become zero-sum as some groups benefit at the expense of others from the government action that restricts comeptition.  And, all of us lose as our freedom is restricted in the process.
