Actually, if you read my comment on the article, the topic is the marxist rhetoric of "free trade". Why I even highlighted the class warfare rhetoric in the article. Tell us all how "rich countries" enduring hardship alleviates discomfort of "poor countries" in the words of neocon Wolfowitz?

Is the discomfort Wolfowitz alludes to the lowering of our own standard of living to third world levels? Does that make "free trade" morally justifiable in your mind?

Please explain how cutting the billions in farm subsidies causes a hardship in rich countries.

Cutting subsidies, lowering taxes and buying less expensive food would raise our standard of living.

Does that make "free trade" morally justifiable in your mind?

Yes, raising our standard of living is morally and economically justifiable.
