How noble of you to willinging sacrifice the American Dream so you can attempt to prove an invalid point. It's perfectly acceptable behaviour to guide our economy to prosperity with incentives and reforms. Sitting by and watching the fireworks is ignorance at its finest.

Government CAN plan a positive role in stimulating growth. You are assuming it is doing the right thing by negotiating Free Trade agreements, why is it any better at the latter and incapable of the former?
