BOB BARR: Socialism’s rise due as much to Republicans as Democrats

As Bob Barr points out, the GOP has long been hypocritical in espousing a free market ethos while embracing a big government reality. As such the GOP, the supposed “small government, free market” party, has helped greatly to erode the spirit of an honest actual free market economy in the US.
