I'm trying not to answer this crap but inaccurate facts get me everytime.
There is no such thing as a free market. It is a myth. The US, like other
countries, has protectionist policies in place to curtail competitive
imports. The Us bolsters its own economy by, amongst other tactics, ensuring
that aid is spent on US products. The enormous aid to Israel for example has
a large part tagged to be reinvested into arms from the US and a large
portion of the rest for products from the US, the list is endless. I suggest
you check some facts. Many third world countries would love the US to apply
free market measures to itself.
