| Message | I was under the impression that this legislation was all about free markets, yet I'm having trouble finding those bits about promoting market freedom. That bit about trade unions and child labor are particularly upsetting. Oh, well. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. This legislation was well wrapped to say the least. |
