"I think they should, but the best way for that to happen is by letting the free market raise standards of living for everyone across the global economy." This is from someone who's forgotten that free markets aren't a new invention. We've HAD free markets, and they brought us slaves, trusts, monopolies, child labor, 12 hour days and 70 hour workweeks.
