Agree 100%. The people who consider themselves The Elite would like to make all our decisions for us, because we're average or regular, how can we be trusted to make the optimum choice?
Even when it's not legally mandated (like, everyone must buy an approved Health Insurance), the government picks winners and losers...often picking poorly. Look at the subsidies given to Solyndra and other solar power companies that turned out to be total losers. "The Marketplace" usually gets it right--if you want a cheap computer, you can get one; if you want a Mac, you can pay for the privilege.
