And never forget, Karl Marx was a free trader.

And he also believed in a graduated income tax. Please tell us why you are against free trade. Because it will prevent home ownership or because it will prevent $20 dollar and hour tradesmen?

Since it will do neither I'm anxious to hear from you.

Let's define terminology first. What's passing for "Free Trade" is actually the practice of labor arbitrage, or the hunt for the lowest pay anyone in the world will get by on.

However in the classical sense of free trade such as between US and Canada, Australia ... some is fine, always keeping our defense industry in mind.

I do make an exception for New Zealand as they pi** and moan about our nuke armed ships, thus should pay series and hugh duties on products they ship here.

Obviously as China is the lead dog right now, and have shown they can shoot down our spy satellites, it is insane to continue to do bidness with them.

(It's still an ugly world out there)
