I was simply agreeing with you. We need a fair economy and the only way to get it is to empower government to make sure that all things are fair. I mean, government bureaucrats understand fairness better than hundreds of millions of free people freely making billions of transactions in their own self interest, right? While you're making life fair, shouldn't we also ensure equal outcome along with equal opportunity? In a fair world, everyone would enjoy the same outcome. It's only fair.

Finally, businesses should serve the people rather than pursuing profit. They are not one and the same. The profit motive is a globalist conspiracy to reward savers, investors and risk takers. It should be eliminated in favor of something more fair.

George Washington was a protectionist. Let's hear you trash talk him.

The government's job is to protect Americans from predatory and monopolistic business practices. It is OK for American to compete against American. It is not ok to pit American against third world coolie.

Smoot Hawley did not cause the Great Depression. That meme/myth is a hilarious lie.

Profits are great. Profits at the expense of the USA and hastening socialism and then communism not so much.

Name ONE company that had to offshore or it was lights out.
