[C. Edmund Wright]

Bert’s post to you is excellent. And thanks for your comments on the book.

BUT You know Jim, if I hadn’t been called a “traitor” for simply agreeing with conservative economics...If I hadn’t been called anti American.....etc...simply because I agree with Adam Smith and Friedman and Sowell and so on...I might not be ticked off.

But I have been called all of those things by protectionists - so turn about is fair play. They call me traitor, falsely, I claim they don’t know WTF they’re talking about...correctly.

Have I ever called you any of those things?

If you asked Adam Smith if it was a good idea for American manufacturing companies to close down their factories give/lease their machinery to a Communist Country and have their coolies build their companies product and have it shipped back into the American market with no tariffs he would have thought you daffy at the least and a traitor at the most.
