What are you basing this on? It's a theory. You
think this would be the case. A purely free market economy is a pipe dream. It would be impossible to implement, even over a long-term strategy, because sooner or later, it's going to lead to social unrest and eventual upheaval. That last part isn't purely theoretical on my part. There is evidence of this.

Is there a difference in your mind between wealth creation and getting rich off of others?

The words are different. I suppose it depends on how you interpret them. I studied semantics, semiotics, and critical theory in university. I don't think it's the kind of thing I want to get into here though.

We may never see a pure free market economy, so there will always be some kind of mix. I will always support policy movements towards free market economies. The freer the market economy the better, in my view.

The better for all. Yeah, yeah, I know, ace. I know.... I simply disagree.
I cannot see how a society can be governed by capitalism on its own. I don't see how a society would deem this to be the fairest model. I don't see how this could be implemented by anything other than an authoritarian plutocracy.
It would require the rescinding of many laws that are considered fundamental. It would require further exposing the American economy to the likes of China and India, who won't share the same economic policies. I sincerely doubt there will be all that many companies interested in dismantling the aspects of nanny statism that benefit them.
I could go on but I won't.
