No one is arguing that or has for decades, but I guess it is yet another straw man, boogie man, windmill for you to chase. You have to have something.
Have you ever heard of a guy named Bernie Sanders?

You mean like "BENGHAZI!" "HILLARY!" "OBAMA!" "LOIS LERNER!" "THE DEEP STATE!" or any other catch phrases that are designed to stimulate the desired response amongst nutters?
They certainly nipped you right in the nutter.
All caps is never appropriate when discussing the socialist Bern.
Singapore. A Success Story. Not A Free Market One.
The economy of Singapore is best described as a mixed economy. Although the country strongly advocates free-market policies and practices, government intervention is also evident in macroeconomic management and major factors of production such as land, labour and capital resources. This innovative and highly successful economic system – where both the market and the state have equally strong roles in the government – is dubbed as the Singapore Model.
And the man most directly responsible for this curious dichotomy is Lee Kuan Yew. Which makes sense, I guess:
Paradox much?

A very unique country/city state; it's really Singapore, Inc.

- He was anti-communist, but he was also a socialist.
- He put in place strong free market policies, but coupled them with even stronger government intervention.
- He eliminated corruption, but once put in place match-making policies amongst the elite and well-educated.
Paradox much?

There used to be another definition for free markets that were ridgidly controlled by a top down, centralized government.

Trump to Leave Singapore Earlier After Kim Sets Departure
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...kim-sets-departure/ar-AAyvnB2?ocid=spartanntp
It looks like accomplishing nothing will take less time than planned.
What a waste of money. Many people are saying this trip is costing $200 million a day. The Navy has diverted 34 ships and an aircraft carrier — in support of the president’s trip. Trump has a 2,000-person presidential entourage, and 870 hotel rooms at a 5 Star resort. It's really unbelievable!

You are the last person in here to talk about highly partisan ass kissing, you are the king of political ass-kissers. No one so vehemently attacks or defends as you do. No makes more excuses for bad behavior than yourself.

Trump and Co are robbing us blind, filling the swamp with insatiable creatures, demeaning the presidency and the USA, helping Putin in his campaign to undermine democracy, as he throws red meat at the idiots so they continue to believe his presidency is about them. It reminds me of the part in Goodfellas where they take over the guys restaurant, steal everything, put the guy deep in debt and then torch the place.
