I recall 'fair' as a warm and fuzzy word Liberals like Walter Mondale used to use a lot. Like "fair taxation" (meaning: tax the rich), or a 'fair wage' (meaning: give in to the unionist demands), etc.
What is "fair"? Isn't it "fair" to allow willing sellers and buyers to go about their business without the Government making it illegal?
Is it "fair" for the government of India to bankroll IT operations that compete against US businesses?
Is it "fair" for China to levy extensive tariffs on US exports while we allow them unfettered access to our markets with products that compete against US businesses?
