What bullshit. If this is true, then Marx is right--all employment is slavery.

As for free enterprise--you buy a franchise, follow the commission---not essentially different from McDonald's.

Except the pay is MUCH better, and cities can be convinced to help you buy your physical plant.

IN the world of free enterprise you enter contractual agreements for a project or a period of time.

You have freedom to enter into them or not. You can also break contracts under a number of conditions.

If one considers that in 1960 cuba had about 7 million people those who left amounted to about 1% of the country...that seems to speak pretty clearly where the wealth was concentrated.

Dude, I would love to read this as a separate thread. you were really there? How old were you and how was it you were there?

Some time, I mean if you don't mind, it would be cool to read it in a contiguous storyline. I know that might be a pain in the neck but it's a VERY significant time in our modern history and frankly, a pretty damned interesting one.

Oh, and thanks.

While the above is true in a system of free enterprise it is not true of mlb. You can claim it what you wish but mlb is not even in the same zip code with free enterprise.

Of course it is. It's only one place to play ball. International baseball is huge--Americans just don't watch it.

Players sign contracts. They don't have to.

Business people do too--even with conditions on what they can say, even after they leave.

Welcome to reality. But rule one is, if you don't like the deal, walk. No different here.

With Rush it was the consumers that said they didn't like what was said. The consumers and the advertisers make decisions about what they want which not a "freedom" issue.
