‘free trade’ is not ‘individuals trade. It is a globalist monster conceived in the UN and created by US tax dollars when the GATT was ratified.
It gives corporations, especially transnational corporations the ability to skirt sovereignty, national borders and national laws. It does not give ‘individuals’ the freedom to do that.
Corporations are the only groups represented in ‘free trade’ and though you say a corporation is made up of individuals, so is a communist collective.
Corporations have no cap on political donations, but individuals do, and therein lies the corruption of our politicians by free traitors.
You can deny all you want the reality of ‘free trade’, but plenty of us have watched its creation and as it grows, our economy and sovereignty decline. It is DIRECTLY related to free traitor corruption of our government.
You have read the GATT, and the numerous globalist trade agendas via the Doha round, the WTO, the EX-IM bank, the OPIC,the Millennium Challenge corporation and the USTR office to name just a few.
Because you are so well informed on reading materials from these internationalist organizations now running trade for the US, I am sure you understand that ‘free trade’ isn’t.
As I continue to try to get through to you, politicians call it "free trade." It isn't. If governments manage it, it isn't free. I can't wait to hear back why you disagree with that.
But I'm sure you will.
By the way, I told you this same thing about 10 posts ago. You ignored it then? Why are you bringing it up now. I have never once insinuated support for these international trade-regulation schemes. Again, they call it "free trade" but it ain't.
True free trade actually did exist in most of the developed world from about 1870 till WWI -- it was coincidentally the period when most of the developed world was on the classical gold standard. You didn't even need a passport to travel to Europe, let alone permission to sell a product there.
