In a free market, every working citizen could easily afford more expensive airline tickets, since they could keep their entire income with no taxes deducted.

Sure they would. And some noble souls would pave the roads and build schools, act as firefighters... Like they did in Grafton.

You mean every laboring slave.
No free market means corporations are allowed to engage in slavery, chattel or otherwise. Let's be honest about what a free market actually is. Factory towns, lifetime debt bondage.
Ah yes, thank you for correcting me. That is exactly what I meant.
That's a really cute idealized world, but it wouldn't work in practice. The structure of free-market capitalism all but precludes it.
The poster I replied to was already in the territory of idealized worlds. You can't just look at one side without looking at the other.
