...supplant my judgment with their own on penalty of taxation for the leviathan state?

Well said.  

Problem is we got a mob of crazed fanatics that have renounced the use and authority of reason.   They say their silly "trade deficit" numbers ship jobs overseas and when they see how jobs increase w/ the TD they say all the numbers are meaningless.   They say the TD numbers mean money leaves the U.S. and when you show them that it doesn't they say the gov't stats are all lies --all except the TD.  This is actually a problem we've had for hundreds of years:

Thomas Paine
“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”


Thomas Paine, The American Crisis

Do you or do you not agree that the Free Traders have had their way since 1992?

Is the U. S. better off today? Yes or no?

The excrement coming out of the Free Traders mouths these days, is just utterly damnable.

Are you really an expat? If so, why should your opinion on what Americans do regarding trade carry any weight?

These trade deals are really mercantilism not free trade!

It is those who are making these deals who operate on the lies of trade deficits.

If they want free trade open their borders and we will trade with them.

What the guys who are behind these deals is control of trade, not free trade.
