It is sad, really.
That’s right, folks. Communist China has a better perspective on international free trade than the guy we just elected president. This country has used capitalism to lift 400 million people out of poverty in the last 20 years. (That’s more than the population of the US.) In the last 20 years in the US we’ve gone from the free market ideals of Reagan to the neo-socialist protectionism of Obama, all while we’ve convinced ourselves that more government, law, and regulation are the best ways to help the poor.
I’ve been forgetting to put this one up. But it is still relevant.
