You've got it backwards and you know that.

E.g., as translated, "We faux free traders are people who want others to support us, and we know we can't just say "destroy your self-preparedness, and entwine and massively encumber our government's (State & Federal) with debt owed to foreign enemy nations, and debase the currency, savings and meanwhile insure and subsidize me while I do all this outsourcing."

And that's how they take a massive trade deficit, call it a "capital surplus" LOL!!!!!!!! and scream "anyone who doesn't salute our Free Trade flag and continue to subsidize us is a traitor to the ideals of...Alexander Hamilton! No, that's not right. A traitor to the ideals and economics of George Washington. No, that's not right. A traitor to the ideals and economics of Theodore Roosevelt. No, guess that's not right. A traitor to the ideals and economics of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Xlinton. There. That's right. Thaaaaat's the ticket. Anybody who opposes those ideals can't be conservative....

they take America's 'capital surplus', call it 'trade deficit', and scream 'anyone who doesn't feed me is a traitor!'...   ...You've got it backwards and you know that...

This is key to our disagreement.  First, forget about all you know that I know, because it's not what you don't know that won't hurt you, it's what you do know that ain't that will --you know?  Second, the reason I say that we got welfare bums complaining about our excess capital, is because

---they've arbitrarily decided that a capital surplus is bad for America,
---they say the best way to eliminate the excess capital is by raising taxes,
---these tax hikes are supposed to benefit people who don't want to do anything that free people want to pay them to do.

Now, tell us how far you were able to follow and I'll go into more detail.
