The rich haven't been about a free market in quite a long time.

I don't know if you noticed, but the discourse in right-wing politics that's absolutely nothing to do with Chicago school anymore. They don't even bring up free markets.

It's an acknowledgment that the entire economy in the US is cartel or Monopoly
