Would you be so kind as to point out *where* in the U.S. Constitution it
so states that every person has a right to a free market? The closest I
can find is Article IV, Section. 4.:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a
Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against
Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive
(when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

That merely says that no state can be an autocracy, there is nothing in
there about any free market.

Also, re another thread in which you advocated poll taxes, poll taxes
were made illegal by Ammendment XXIV. IIRC, that was stipulated because
they were used to keep poor blacks from voted and were quite unfavorable
to the poor. But, I may be wrong.
