No minimum wage or working standards?

The big problem with American Exceptionalism is that it has been misinterpreted to mean that AMERICANS are exceptional rather than AMERICA. If you truly made people fight for what they were actually worth in the marketplace, most Americans would turn their noses up at it.

Interestingly, that is not true. We manufacture planes, trains, and automobiles even with trade inequity.

Your Utipic dream will never exist.

Especially when nations have the ability to manipulate the value of their own currency.


"Free trade" is a 100% fabrication.
