And yet you are a rabid supporter of CAFTA, notwithstanding that you know it will have the effect of forcing many people, in the US and outside of it, to live a life in which they are tied to a subsistence level of existence, with no hope of improving their station, and powerless to protest or complain, for fear that they will lose the meager resources they have. Or does this just mean that you have not yet come to understand that freedom requires access to opportunity? If people are tied to a subsistence level, without opportunity, aren't they really nothing more than slaves?
