Citizens and consumers benefit most from a system of selective free trade, which considers the needs of entities other than business.

You can't be serious. What other rational and fair system can you devise to determine winners and losers?

I didn't say I could devise it, but it was done for years until free trade mania gained the upper hand.

Ask yourself - if completely free trade is such a great thing, how did the USA grow to be the great land that it was when there were restrictions on free trade.

In a similar manner... I believe in freedom. Freedom is a great thing - yet there must be some restraints on freedom. That is why most here at this forum would state that someone with purely libertarian belief was somewhat of an idealistic idiot.
