[Choose Ye This Day]

I would argue that the social and moral issues are all on the side of free trade, that it is you, and people like you, who introduce protection, who are the ones who are violating fundamental social and moral issues. Tell me, what trade union represents the workers who are displaced because high tariffs reduce exports from this country? Because high tariffs make steel, for example, or other goods, more expensive, as a result, those industries which use steel have fewer--have to charge higher prices, they have fewer employees, the export industries that would grow up to balance the imports--tell me, what union represents them? What moral and ethical view do you have about their interests?

Milton lays the smackdown on the socialist. It had to leave a mark. The guy couldn't/wouldn't answer.

I read "Free to Choose" and it literally changed my life. When it was becoming clear to me, late in the 1970's, that government programs were not accomplishing their purported goals, and that the only answer from the people affected was a demand for for more of the same, I read this book, and I began to see government programs in a whole different light.
