Hey, ‘FREE TRADE’, it was capitalism at it’s best.

Folks just don’t want to admit that no matter how sound an ideology is, it can have very negative impacts, if it is not implemented in a sane manner.

I like to say, I love sex, but I can’t participate in it 24/7/365. Capitalism is great internally, but if it is applied across international borders, it can really cause havok.

Look at the technology transfers to China alone. That ain’t right!!!

Senator Hatch at one point wanted to hand the Chinese our complete patent database. You can’t make this stuff up...

Ayup.

“Communist Chinese Capitalism”

Capitalism is just a tool, and like any tool, the moral nature of the tool’s product depends entirely upon the moral character of the tool’s user.

The presently observable systemic corruption of governance, financial and otherwise, is symptomatic of the moral corruption of the individuals who comprise that system.

When folks behave as though “do that thou wilt is the whole of the law” bad things happen. Simple.
