I thought a free market means that you can sell your goods at whatever price you want (what the market will bear). Governments that enforce certain environmental statues or occupational safety requirements are not fixing prices. While the affects of the laws may be an increase in price to the market, the price increases are NOT artificially set, but instead are the result of market wide forces (cost of doing business).
