The more people with whom you trade the richer you get, regardless of whether they are across the street or across the world; the fewer with whom you trade the poorer you get.

If you could not trade with anyone you would have to make everything yourself and you'd be very poor or dead.

You say "be a liberal" like it's a bad thing, or that only uneducated people are "liberal."

FYI: Democracy was a "Liberal" idea.

An analogy of the OP: someone walks into a room of people and says, "Here's a simple idea that even a brown-eyed person can understand!"

Pretty much everything that comes out of that person's mouth after that is :rolleyes:.

Cool.

You should write an op-ed piece. Don't let that genius be hidden from the world.
