republicans in Congress fear the "free market" whenever it touches the non-investor/non-executive class. For example, they claim free market principle reign when worker wages are depressed ... arguing there is always some worker out there willing and able to do that job for $1.00+/hr less; but they fear that same free market principle that says there is always a CEO out there willing and able to do that job for $1,000,000 less ... European and Asian companies don't seem to have a problem finding them; with better results.
