No, you could not. By voting for a socialist government, you are attempting to use the power of the state to coerce me and the rest of the country into supporting your agenda. By voting for the free market, I am attempting to allow you to do whatever you please.

By voting for a free market, you're attempting to use the power of the state to coerce me and the rest of the country into living in a free market economy. It's the same damn thing. We're both voting to change the system at the expense of the other person's preferred ideology. The fact that you believe in some Jeffersonian fantasy of the free market where you sit on your plantation and big gubment can't give your money to blacks is inconsequential.
I bet you even believe tort law works to protect the environment in a free market system.
See, I can't 'do whatever I please' in a post-apocalyptic madhouse where all healthcare and education are totally for profit, the environment is all fucked up, humanity moved backwards, and greed won out over brotherhood. That's averse to the core of being. The only thing I'd want to do is leave.
