      that wouldn’t be a free market

      Yes it would, the banks are free to buy the influence of legislators.

      The idea of a free market means that working hard makes you go farther.

      No, that’s just a vague platitude, you might as well say that a free market is when happiness and icecream.

      What we have is an oligarchy dicatorship

      A dictatorship of capital, if you will.
