It was pretty obvious, I just didn't read it well.
My boss fancies himself a libertarian, which I consider to be the political ideology of people who are just engaged enough the believe they should have an opinion about economies, but not quite engaged enough to grapple with the consequences of their ideas, because the flaws in libertarianism are so glaringly obvious my 9 year old could figure them out on her own. So today I was left all primed up for a rant on what a real unconstrained market would like, which is pretty heavily regulated. I glanced a "Lower tax" "Lower tax" "Lower tax" and started my rant, without reading to much into the words.
(and it doesn't help when it gets tied up, you walk away for 5 minutes, and they're behind all over again, that also makes me want to rant)
