Mase: Increased freedom is knocking down America? Good luck selling that to Americans that cherish their personal liberty. You're not one of those big government conservatives now, are you?
We had “govt. managed trade” from 1789 to 1913. Worked out pretty good with no income tax then.
You're confused. Reducing tax revenue to the government while reducing government control of the economy reduces the role of government. Allowing consumers to pick winners and losers by executing hundreds of millions of transactions in their best interest is much preferred to your vision where government bureaucrats pick winners and losers.
Big government conservatives don't understand economics.
