No, you clearly don't understand capitalism. Price gouging and discriminatory rates don't happen with free and open markets - it is not sustainable without limits to competition, such as regulation. And, no, I'm not saying all regulation is bad.
The entire, basic foundation of free markets is that politicians and corporations do not and cannot extract rents from consumers.
