Look, the bottom line is you are advocating taking money from one person and giving it to another because YOU determine what one person produces or does is more valuable than what the other person produces or does

I am not advocating this at all, I am asking why "free traders" tolerate the overt Marxism displayed by the organizations THEY created to represent THEIR interests. Can you tell me why they do? I can only presume that they do not disagree with that philosphy, if they do not stop THEIR representatives from forcing that viewpoint on the world.

I admire your tenacity --still fighting the Marxist rhetoric issue.

For the sake of discussion, let's say our buddy Paul actually was talking like a flaming pinko commie.  My question is whether you agree that what he was acting on was a roll back in corporate welfare.  IOW, wouldn't you rather have someone acting for smaller government while talking nonsense, then have someone who talked real slick but was setting us up into a soviet state?

Do you understand that free traders only want free trade? I don't speak for all free traders but for me the WTO is irrelevant. I don't change my view on free trade because they support it or not. I don't care if the WTO goes away. Stop assuming that just because I agree with something they happen to aggree with makes me a supporter of the WTO.
