I guess you are unaware that it was protectionists, like yourself, who were responsible for enacting the 16th Amendment.
The government managed trade you are so enthusiastic for, with all the instituted restrictions & barriers and economic liberties lost, is the very socialism you accuse others of wanting. Actually, what you desire is worse than socialism. You're here advocating for central planning and elitist and dictatorial command style economics that has absolutely nothing to do with economic liberty. Yup, nothing like having a bunch of brain dead Bolshevik politicians choosing winners and losers. Why not just admit that you favor central planning and hold nothing but contempt for the the economic choices of other people when they refuse to do as you want them to do. In the protectionist fever swamp in which statists like you exist, freedom is now equal to slavery, and more government control provides us with greater liberty. What a pile of crap.
People who think in this twisted manner believe we must limit economic freedom in order to preserve it. The fact that your retarded logic can find support here is a sad commentary on the state of our union. It is you who is bowing down in that graphic you posted earlier - bowing to the collectivist central planners who know what's best for you and your family. To me, free trade is fundamental to capitalism. It is the voluntary exchange of goods and services between two or more parties so that each party walks away from the exchange in better shape than they were before the transaction. Why anyone would have a problem with that is a mystery, but here you are.....
Do you see the irony of using Communist slaves to build our consumer products? Is that situation progressing freedom?
