"Freedom? Or cheap prices for consumers? Only recently have you cared about freedom; previously, you've been the outspoken champion of cheap imported trinkets."

It is you and your left-leaning ilk who cry that corps are not paying their fair share, yet when it is pointed out that all the will happen is higher prices you assert that we in opposition are touting th cheap prices as our cause.

Nice try but that monkey don't dance.

What is being pointed out to you time and time again is that taxes on corps will not have your desired effect no matter what you try save for price controls. Which I am sure is your next step, if so then it is Katie-bar-the-door and we can watch as all the major corps flee or fold.

Thank you for your recent response, and for bumping this thread.

Time constraints prevent me from investing time in crafting extensive responses to proponents of so-called free trade. Nevertheless, I will not leave you mired in an outdated and misguided economic philosophy without first providing you some resources whereby you may extricate yourself. The links listed below will help your thinking to evolve beyond the outdated and erroneous concepts of the self-trained amateur economist David Ricardo, the originator of the free trade concept who died in 1823.

In fact, free trade is a global welfare system intended to transfer wealth from the U.S. and her people to the third world. An example of their scheme can be viewed here

You should also be aware that China and India, despite their whining protestations to the contrary, are no longer poor. China, in fact, is right behind the U.S. in terms of GDP. Think what this implies for the future as China's military becomes stronger. You can read more here

I look forward to the day when those who have favored free trade recognize the error of their ways. They will cease to promote the U.N.'s global welfare schemes. They will abandon the path favored by Karl Marx. They will instead embrace America and her people.
