Contributing sentiments towards policy:

76% : "free" from taxation, public collection or regulation, into a flow of interest.
61% : What is a free market?
58% : The 20 century's anti-classical reaction has inverted the concept of a free market, Orwellian Doublethink style, to create one "free" for rent-seekers to carve out free-lunch rent income.
56% : The resulting dictates laying down the law are always wrapped in the rhetoric of free markets and democracy.
54% : The move toward democratic political reform in the late 19 and early 20 century was supposed to create rent-free markets.
51% : The liberal mass media, academia, and "think tank" lobbying institutions, policy foundations and NGOs sponsor the above-described rhetoric of free markets to create vehicles for capital flight, money laundering, tax evasion, deregulation and privatization (and the corruption that goes with emerging kleptocracies).
49% : A free market was defined as one free from economic rent - the land rent imposed by heirs of the feudal warlord landlord class, whose economic role was purely extractive, not productive.
48% : As for free trade, the United States also retains the right to impose tariffs at will (euphemized as "fair trade") and levy fines and sanctions to prevent companies from being free to sell technology to China.
47% : This failure is celebrated as a victory for the rule of law, democracy, property rights and even free markets over the authority of public power to regulate private wealth-seeking.
46% : The New York Times published a prominent article defining the "Biden Doctrine" as seeing "China as America's existential competitor; Russia as a disrupter; Iran and North Korea as nuclear proliferators, cyberthreats as ever-evolving and terrorism as spreading far beyond Afghanistan."
39% : The rise of U.S.-sponsored neoliberalism means that the 19-century's fight to free markets from predatory finance sponsoring rentier parasitism and has failed.
21% : This always has been U.S. policy, from the many treaties with Native American tribes broken by Andrew Jackson and his successors down through the U.S.-Soviet agreements ending the Cold War in 1991 broken by Bill Clinton to the treaty removing sanctions on Iran broken by Donald Trump.
