The biggest government in the history of the US was created by “free trader” President Bush. “free traders”, the transnational corporations included, claim they want less government but they really want to control the government, as opposed to the US Constitution where the people are the masters of the government.
Everything the “free traders” do, undermines the the Constitution and propels us headlong toward communism and socialism. As you know, Karl Marx knew and expected “free trade” would do this.
Marx was correct and so are you. Free trade as practiced now will lead to socialism.
