Sorry, we have no point of contact. You believe the country is the federal government instead of we the people.

Pres Reagan was wrong on NAFTA but right about this:

“We the people” tell the government what to do, it doesn’t tell us. “We the people” are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which “We the people” tell the government what it is allowed to do. “We the people” are free. (snip)

How can you disagree with this:
FREE TRADE IS NOT FREE
Patrick J. Buchanan
Address to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations
November 18, 1998
the country comes before the economy; and the economy exists for the people; and the market must be harnessed to work for man.

My Answer:

Those words could be lifted right out of a socialist manual. By “country” what does he mean? Well, the federal government, of course. Who decides what’s good for “the people”? Why the federal government, of course. Who’s going to do the “harnessing” to “work for man”? Why the federal government, of course.

What and why do you disagree with my answer.
