I’ve been told by the free trade crowd, Communist China is our good friend. Isn’t Russia our friend too?

How many voices do you normally hear in your head? Isn't a "crowd" rather annoying?

But Free Traders don’t say that “China is your friend”.

That would be the sort of retarded straw-man argument that protectionists make up when they have nothing substantive to say.

What Free Traders *in fact* say is that “Free Trade is your friend”.

If India or Brazil or China or the UK makes something or does something better, faster or cheaper than a domestic supplier then you should be free to go and buy it from them. Your choice, not the Governments.

You can either allow people to do what they want with their own damn money - or you can use protectionism and tariffs to grow Government and to turn your domestic industries into toxic welfare dumps.

Which will it be?
