It’s understandable that the Chamber of Commerce would be a pro-business lobby rather than a pro-free market lobby. After all, the “free market” isn’t paying the Chamber’s dues — businesses are.

But even if I set aside my moral objections to shaping public policy so that you are using the government’s might to make a profit — I know not everyone sees that as theft the way I do — it’s unseemly for the Chamber to abuse the phrase “free enterprise” in the way it does.
