I, as a citizen anarchist-capitalist, have the inalienable right to buy whatever I want, from whomever I want at whatever price I can negotiate.

Now citizens of this country know that we do not have the "right" to buy stolen goods from criminals, for starters.

Since we abolished slavery by constitutional amendment, we do not have the "right" to buy goods made by slaves for slave traders. In fact we have a moral imperative NOT to do so. As a free people, we have a moral imperative NOT to make communists wealthy so that they can spread communism around the globe. But look at what the "free traders" have wrought....

There are plenty of things that moral citizens ask their Congress to do, because only a moral people can preserve the Republic. That includes regulating international trade. It's in the Constitution!

Hmm. So I understand this, you're comparing stolen property and slavery to me buying a Lexus, Mercedes or a mango from Ecuador? Really? That's the best ya got?
