You've never referred to those advocating in favor of free trade as traitors? Please. That makes conservatives like Tom Sowell, Bill Buckley, Milton Friedman, Walter Williams and Ronald Reagan traitors in your mind. And that's a strange thing to believe in on a forum called Free Republic.
All that aside, I thought you might want to come out from behind the safety of your keyboard some day and find out how the common man feels about your accusations. I think you'd be surprised by their responses. It's up to you. Personally, I'd advise against it.
Lowering prices by reducing taxes (and therefore fedgov revenue) while increasing the number of choices you have is tantamount to the government deciding "what's good or not for all of us?" Did you go to confusion school with hedgetrimmer?
Because perfect "free trade" doesn't exist in an imperfect world you can't see any benefits from free(r) trade, where government exerts less control over transactions; where prices are lowered and where consumer choices are increased? What do you have against increased competition, greater variety and lower prices? Cannot individuals be trusted to make their own choices? If you're not for free(r) trade then, by default, you are in favor of bigger government.
You haven’t read your history. Britain went to socialism to placate the labor class after they “free traded” away too much domestic employment.
So Britain is soo much less socialist now decades after Thatcher’s “free trade” agenda with the EU was implemented? Ha ha ha.
We have more socialism now than ever after 30 years of “free trade”. Please explain that one.
You are using threats and intimidation to do what? What’s your point? Is that the only tool you “free traders” have in your arsenal?
You keep talking about lower prices and less government control.
You want anarchy for transnational corporations.
You want slave labor for transnational corporations.
You want American citizens Constitutional right for self government destroyed by transnationals so they won’t have to suffer any ‘regulation’.
“free trade” has caused bigger government. Your argument is completely false! We are living “free trade” big government right now, and more “free trade” will not make it smaller and it won’t free the slaves forced to labor for “free trade” corporations either. So much for individual right to choose. Bah.
You “free traders” are really the bottom of humanity’s barrel. I have supreme disdain for the likes of you.
I’m intimidating and threatening you from a computer? That’s just bizarre. Do you have the courage to call people traitors, like you do here, who benefit from free(r) trade by shopping at Wal-Mart or not? If you don’t want to use that word, which is probably wise in your case, why not go down to some Wal-Mart on Saturday morning and ask the folks if they realize that they’re not really getting more bang for their buck, therefore leaving them more money to save for their kids education or for their retirement. Instead, tell them they’re aiding and abetting their country’s rapid descent into global socialism. Let me know how that works out.
You’ve never explained to us how it is that slaves earn wages?
Do you represent all “free traders”? Your parents should be ashamed of you if they knew the kind of child they raised. LOL
Let me correct you. “free traders” are aiding and abetting the rapid descent into global socialism. American citizens have had their constitution trod upon by the “free traders” and even our corrupt “free trader bought and paider” congressmen are telling us not to buy American made products,such as any that are left, because waahhh, it might upset the transnationals.
Bottom of humanity’s barrel, “free traders”.
