No, I assure you, Anon, there is no free market here.
In a free market, everyone competes, on a level playing field, for scarce economic resources. The tax revenues of the American federal government are a scarce resource.
American banks have now out-competed everyone else for that resource, thus proving that they are clearly the most efficient at extracting and processing it.
Ergo, the free market has selected the entity best suited to survive economic turmoil in the United States of America: rich bankers.
