No one is trying to control you, buy and shop wherever you want. I occasionally go up to Canada to purchase products unavailable in the US. I support seniors' right to go up there as well and get prescription drugs for a better price. I completely oppose what Pataki did in NY denying smokers the right to purchase cigarettes online.

Free trade in the sense of what we have now is not about freedom, not for Americans. It's about corporations moving to cheap labor countries, then dumping their products in the US, unfairly competing with businesses trying to make a living here and putting people out of work. Government's job is to protect the interests of its citizens, not a select few CEOs.

bzzzt, Wrongo. Governments job is to defend everyones rights. Not to protect "interests". You seem confused as a pretend conservative. Just come out of the closet and admit your liberal big government leanings, it's a cleansing thing.
