      The market in America is like a corporation and each American is a
      stockholder.  You can't use the company resources without permission
      from the other stockholders.  We have a board of directors
      (government) to keep track of the company resources and to charge
      those who wish to allow products not manufactured by our company
      to be sold in our stores.

     Apparently, in your world, the mob should rule.
     AGAIN you continue to want to use government to enforce
     your vision rather than allowing each individual to choose
     for themselves (which is the case in the analogy you falsely
     put forth).

Paul
    No, I want to use government for its legitimate purpose of defending
    me and my property against trespass and theft.

MJ
This claim and what you are advocating are two separate ideals.

Joe American contracts with Cho Chinaman to provide X in exchange
for Y.  Joe lives in the USofA and Cho in China.

  1. Please explain how YOUR 'resources' have been used without
       permission.

  2. Please explain how THIS transaction is any concern of yours.

  3. Please explain how the Government would be protecting your
       property against theft and/or trespass by intervening in the
       transaction.

Your premise that the free market is somehow owned by you or others
is flawed.  In fact, it is absurd.

"What we call the market is really a democratic process
involving millions, and in some markets billions, of people
making personal decisions that express their preferences.
When you hear someone say that he doesn't trust the market,
and wants to replace it with government edicts, he's really
calling for a switch from a democratic process to a totalitarian
one." -- Walter Williams
