Trade

Some kinds of trade are good: balanced trade is awesome, fair trade is fraught with ambiguity but workable because it is constantly being examined, but "Free" Trade, not so good. Yes, everyone benefits but the 1% benefit more, and there is no redistribution of wealth so it accumulates. You may say, "I don't care how well someone else is doing as long as I'm doing fine," but that is incredibly selfish & shortsighted. Wealth brings power & opportunity in proportion to the wealth, so when wealth accumulates in the 1%, so do those other things. Without opportunity, there is no liberty, and without liberty, shut this friggin' place down.
