It has been my experience that those people that scream the most about free trade (Bushies) either do not understand free trade or do not believe in it. This is how it works�?BR>
Let us say we have a car like Porsche and some one only wants to use it to pick up groceries. Even though the car is German it is assembled at a factory in America.

There is two ways of looking at the purchase of this vehicle Feudalistic (Bushiest) or capitalistic.

In the Feudalistic view the car was made in the states and it is up to the Lords of the Land to decide how much will be paid for it, which individual will get it and what it will be used for.

In a capitalistic system that ever pays the most, gets the car. The argument that Canadian speed limits are higher and therefore make the car more dangerous is NOT a valid complaint.

People are like cars, if they don't get paid enough in one place; they will move to where there are more opportunities. The US government, foundation and mechanism cannot figure out why people are leaving the country.
