    • Wow, there are a lot of slavery supporting people on current. Why do people actually believe in slavery so much?

      History has shown almost the exact opposite, that bureaucrats collude together to gain corporatism, it doesn't just appear from nowhere.

      I'm sorry, but I have seen enough slavery to know we need to reject it, from a fiscal position, but also a personal freedom perspective as well, because it's all one in the same.

      The one thing we KNOW that doesn't work is slavery, when you allow some humans to be propped up over others. but you can continue to blindly be sympathetic to a system that is bent on lies and corruption. You can keep your politics slavery, us educate people will try to actually help people the right way through freeing them from your blind slavery

      Your government is a disease that has killed millions of people through coercive force, an unneeded drain on society is what it really is.

      Our society would be MUCH more prosperous without your forceful middle men!

    • If you see whats happening in America you can see that free market dominates all! Money controlled by government needs just needs to be used to serve the people as a democracy such as schools, education, healthcare, clean energy, clean environments, and great advantages FOR THE PEOPLE. America is now being influence by giant companies who are willing to pay millions to congressman and lawmakers to get business running their way. Eventually, business giants will be our powerful leaders.

    • You are completely wrong about Haiti. If anyone is interested in having a real conversation about the history of free trade and development please see my former post about the role of tarriffs in the US development.

      http://current.com/items/91629440_free-trade-as-new-imperialism-the-myth-and-rea...

      The US had the highest tariffs in the world during the eighty or so years prior to the end of the second world war, precisely during the time it rose to world super power. It may not fit nicely into a safe libertarian world view, but free trade does not lead to development.

      Countries develop by industrialising. Developing countries comparitive advantage is in raw materials/agriculture. They don't have the capacity educational and otherwise for industrial goods. They can catch up however by taxing industrial goods from other countries, which makes their industrial goods competitive locally, and slowly learn and develop the industry, all the while reducing the tariffs till they are competitive.

      free trade will never lead them out of raw materials and agriculture and they will remain stuck in underdevelopment.

      Infant Industry protectionism, followed by export led growth just like the UK, followed by the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. This is the pathway to development (whether it fits into your worldview or not)....
