51. free trade
Feel free to use this it's mine. If you were the sole owner of the busiest mall in the world and the people running that mall let any one come in and sell their products for free would you be upset? Of course you would. Meanwhile you're stuck with the maintenance bills. You're screwed twice. If you are a citizen, then you are an equal share holder in what was the best shopping location in the world. If a product is made in the U.S., then at least the workers income tax goes to the maintenance of our country( our collective good). If a product comes in to our country made elsewhere, then there should be a market fee. An appropriate fee would be the difference between the labor cost of that same product made in the U.S. and where ever it was made. This would be completely fair since every country could use the same fee. Free trade makes no sense. The key to the truth is to use the fewest words possible.
