    It can be. Just limit the government and declare unions illegal. Cheese Whiz.

    What do unions and government have to do with each other? How about corporations paying an honest wage to their workers? and not giving all the profits to the share holders? The workers invest in the companies, too!

    Who are you to say what wage is honest or not? Let the market decide.

    The market is not fair! it should not be the deciding factor. There is no such thing as free market! There is only fair market! and fair wage!

    The market is the only thing that is fair. Who makes the decision that a wage "isn't fair"?

    Markets forces are market forces. The government has a duty to see that market forces are sculpted in a way that benefit the majority of citizens reasonably.

    Markets are manipulated, by labor and by corporations.

    This is why markets must be constrained within in limits set by other standards and considerations, like morality or national security.

    for instance, kiddie porn is illegal, even though there's a market for it.

    Outsourcing all production may be profitable for multinationals, but the country loses control of it's supply chain, which can be a national security risk, and can also suck all the wealth from the country over time.

    Do you understand any of the words i'm saying, blockhead?

    But corporations are trying to send every job possible overseas.

    We need protectionism and immigration reduction to increase the standard of living in america.

    These have been part of trade throughout history. It only in neocon/libertarian/globalist idiot land that these things are socialism.

    It is the trickle out method used by radicals, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't have to, it is just getting enough people to "go along for the ride"
