Sen. John McCain claims to be a
free trader. Genuine free trade is the
result of laws that protect private property from illegal taking. Current U.S. trade policy is based on
ignoring those laws. This allows
foreign producers to dump artificially cheap imports in America.
Americans no longer produce
enough tradable goods to support our level of consumption. So our government encourages us to borrow so
we can continue to consume foreign goods and prop up the world economy. Wall Street violates important business laws
so we can rack up more unsustainable debt.
Predictably, these prohibited trade and business
practices are resulting in the illegal taking of the wealth of more and more
Americans. This is trade anarchy, not
free trade. If Mr. McCain.. or anyone
else.. wants to be a genuine free trader, he should join those of us who
promote the effective enforcement of the rules of free trade. We are the genuine free traders.
