Protectionist or free-market thinker

General Motors plans to sell cars in the United States that it makes in China, starting in 2011. That could make GM the first major automaker to import Chinese cars to the U.S. market. The car maker expects to sell about 17,335 of the China-made vehicles in the United States in 2011, and triple that number to 51,546 in 2014, a planning document circulated by GM among U.S. lawmakers Automotive News - May 11

I like the concept of free trade. I like the concept of a free market. I have also made huge donations in the past ten years with my shrinking retirement funds and my future quality of life to the money grabbers of the free market and their Ponzi scheme economy.

A CEO somewhere down the line at GM in 2014 will make millions for taking my current tax dollars, my sweat of labor, my quality of life and send them to China because he will say it is more profitable for GM. I don't see Ford in the running for this achievement and they aren't taking my tax money right now just to survive.

This is the free market.

I also don't have to buy the product.

This is also the free market.

I am not a protectionist or free-market thinker. I am both.
