Free trade has provided this country with one of the highest standards of living in the world despite the best efforts of the unions and the minimum wage crowd.

No - protected industry is what did that. We're now squandering the national wealth we accumulated during the period when we protected our industry.

Take that Socialistic garbage to the DU where it will receive a resounding cheer.

Taxes and tariffs are organized theft. The government derives it's just power from the people. How does that apply here? Easy. I have the moral right to defend myself against violent attack. I have also delegated that power to he police. What the cops do I have the moral right to do when they're not around. Which is usually all the time. That is why you have the moral and legal authority to kill an attacker if your life is threatened.

That same thing applies to private property. Government has no moral right to take from one person to give to another. Do you have the moral right to take the money from a rich person to give it to a poor person? Then how can you delegate that power to the government?

Do YOU think you have the right to take MY money?

Molon Labe my friend.

Private property is a founding moral principle of this republic and a bedrock value of the Republican Party. That's a fact!
