“Government is taking 40 percent of the GDP (all the goods and services produced in the country in a year). And that's at the state, local, and federal level ... At some point, you cease being a free economy, and you become a government (command) economy. And we've got to stop that.”—Mitt Romney

No, the answer is not A. The speaker, Mitt Romney, is expressing concern about the government's share of the GDP and its potential impact on the economy. To understand his preferred type of economy, we need to analyze the context of his statement.

Romney's statement suggests that he believes a government taking a large share of the GDP leads to a shift away from a free economy towards a government-controlled or command economy. This implies that he would be more in favor of an economy where decisions are primarily made by individuals (D), rather than by the government (B) or other entities mentioned.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. an economy where decisions are primarily made by individuals.

No

So it is c
