The government does that every day with these stupid "trade deals". The decide what's good or not for all of us.

Lowering prices by reducing taxes (and therefore fedgov revenue) while increasing the number of choices you have is tantamount to the government deciding "what's good or not for all of us?" Did you go to confusion school with hedgetrimmer?

Because perfect "free trade" doesn't exist in an imperfect world you can't see any benefits from free(r) trade, where government exerts less control over transactions; where prices are lowered and where consumer choices are increased? What do you have against increased competition, greater variety and lower prices? Cannot individuals be trusted to make their own choices? If you're not for free(r) trade then, by default, you are in favor of bigger government.

You keep talking about lower prices and less government control.

You want anarchy for transnational corporations.

You want slave labor for transnational corporations.

You want American citizens Constitutional right for self government destroyed by transnationals so they won’t have to suffer any ‘regulation’.

“free trade” has caused bigger government. Your argument is completely false! We are living “free trade” big government right now, and more “free trade” will not make it smaller and it won’t free the slaves forced to labor for “free trade” corporations either. So much for individual right to choose. Bah.

You “free traders” are really the bottom of humanity’s barrel. I have supreme disdain for the likes of you.
