but, you are not addressing the issue at hand, that "free market" is a very misleading term. And then throw in some random stuff about political parties.

When a company reaches a sufficient size and influence, it isn't a "free market" anymore, now is it?

Also, I don't "blame" anyone, you see opportunities of one sort or another, google/apple/etc do as well. I do think it is extremely short sighted in a lot of ways though.
