You write, confusing "free enterprise" with "free trade". They are very different things. When people think of free enterprise, they think of businesses competing with each other, providing better services and prices. Free trade, more commonly known as "globalization" is anticompetitive and monopolistic. It neither results in better service or lower prices. It is another of the big lies, spread by multinational corporations that allow them to loot the wealth of countries to the advantage of the world's wealthy and the inbred blue bloods composing the oligarchy that rules.
