Ok, your way leads to weakness and death of the republic. Since you have no allegiance other than to profit margin this makes you and me are very different people. You are more primitive, seeing things in simplistic cost/benefit to you or your company; your country be damned. Not everyone does everything for profit, thank God. Thank God out founders were 180 degrees different than you. God help us. There really is no point, we are too far apart, I am a throw back to the patriots of the founders tradition and you are more of a pure profit motivated, history ignoring cretin.
YOU NEVER ADDRESS ANY POINT THAT I MAKE, EVER. WHY? BECAUSE THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR YOUR POSITION.
If you discuss economics it should be dispassionately rather than like a sensitive teenage girl.
Morality is a separate subject also to be discussed with objectivity and a cool head.
Politics the same.
Providing the people with the opportunity by keeping the government out of their pockets and hair as much as possible is the highest morality. A morality which understands that free trade is of a higher nature than government controls. And is the preference of free men.
I early on indicated that the exception to free trade allowed for protection of national security if necessary by protecting and/or subsidizing national security related industry.
Businesses that do not do legal things for profit are not long in business and has created more misery through misguided altruism. Nothing has been said by me outside the context of economic decision-making so I never said that “...everyone does everything for profit....” Refuting that absurd strawman might have been fun for you but it never was an idea of mine.
And don’t tell me about patriotism, if I am not confused you are a firm supporter of those who tried their damnedest to destroy our Union through a treasonous insurrection and thus, rejected everything our Founders stood for.
