While liberals believe that a market system in which the government regulates the economy is ideal, to protect citizens from corporate greed. They argue that the free market creates an unfair distribution of wealth. In a free market system, the richest get richer and the poor get poorer. But the United States has never operated a free market system, we have always had a mixed system, neither completely free nor completely regulated. This helps us to have price regulation in the entire market and this prevents excessive prices, promotes the growth of small businesses, helps the economy become stronger and prevents market collapse.
