Huh? Lobbyists passing money around to pols in Washington D.C. is not free trade.

And the multinational trade agreements promoted by the Bush Administration aren't free trade either.

"We are infinitely better off without treaties of commerce with any nation."

--Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1815.

"I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."

--Thomas Jefferson to George Logan, 1816. FE 10:69
