Are moon shining, illegal drugs and prostitution the epitome of the free market and free enterprise?

Red states love their meth.

Capitalism and free markets aren't perfect tools that always generate what's good for society.

Things like a dollar a pound salt and two dollar sugar are epitomes of the free market. Check the history regarding the value of these two commodities alone and you'll begin to understand what socialists are trying to destroy.

it is not the market that sale... it is all about greed

In a really free market there are no issues to iron out, just inforcement of the rules, like age requirements of sales of drugs, alcohol and prostitution.
If it were a free market the economy would not be in the toilet, because taxes on things not yet available for sale would bring in more money then ever, and the economy would be flourishing, people would not be losing their homes, people would not be hungry, and the education system would have plenty of money to educate our children.
But We The people have not demanded from those who represent our wishes to do that yet. When we have suffered a bit more, maybe then we will get a clue.

Bingo!!!!!
We have a winner!!!!

(Lol).

Americans haven't seen a truly free market in well over a hundred years, but they've benefited enough from what remains of the original that they have absolutely no idea what life would be like without it.

True in most cases I'm guessing, but I belong to a barter organization, which is a whole lot better than any free market could ever attempt to be. And barters are growing every year as government gets more and more involved in capitalism, turning it into socialism for the rich corporations and capitalism for the poor taxpayer who pays for that logic.
Barter systems sidestep that logic and keep government out of your business. I trade my services for other services, and no money is exchanged.
It works well for myself.

Barter isn't a free market alternative, it's the ORIGINAL free market. 'Representative currency' didn't come into the picture until MUCH later in human history.

And yes, the more you can cut out the middle man, the better off you are. The type of good or service matters not. Take America's health 'care' crisis for instance. The whole fiasco is ginned up by middle men.

Yupp, it forces people to take care of themselves by living a nutritious and responsible existence or bear the unfortunate circumstances of their actions and having to go see a doctor.
Moderation is the key to a healthy life without the medical profession owning your ass. It has so far worked for me and I'm gonna be 57 this October and in damn good health, and I smoke about 5 cigarettes a day, only drink wine, and not much of it. And i take 2000mg of vitamin c every day, have been for the last 35 years. And i eat right, no junk food.
So I have saved a fortune on medical expense.
I went to medical school for 3 years, then droped out to pursue a career in art, illustration, which made me happier, and was a whole lot less stress like the medical career i was pursuing. Stress has alot to do with living well.
I'm not rich, but doing ok, and healthy.
The medical industry can kiss my ass, and french the hole, Lol.
Take care my friend.

Moon shining, illegal drugs, and illegal prostitution are creations of the state. The free market would remove the power from gangsters and thugs. By definition the free market puts the power in the consumers hands. In a free market you choose not to, or to, do something. Under the corporate state you are controlled by big money interests.

Exactly!

Heck ya all of the above.
