“It's really unfair that both I and my employees are being chased out of here for purely political reasons,” he said.
But both Spivack and the Charlotte Observer one crucial flaw in this story of Big Brother running rough shod over the little guy. Namely that the decision came not from any government official or party committee, but from the owners of the mall themselves. It's the mall that is canceling Spivack's lease, which would make this a business decision, not a political one. Did the politics of the mall owners come into play? Possibly. Was this primarily motivated to avoid bad publicity? Without a doubt. However as a true "Free Market Warrior" Spivack ought to support a company's right to make its own decisions. The mall owners thought the Free Market Warrior kiosk would negatively impact their business, so they got rid of him. That's the essence of a Free Market. But instead of being a true defender of the faith, Spivack for some reason calls the decision political. News flash, the Free Market isn't a Conservative Fairy Godmother who delivers nothing sweet treats. Sometimes she's a hideous bitch goddess that will screw you over big time. Spivack just got the same lesson we all endured back in 08.
