You know that thing about a Giant Invisible Hand?
Thats all BULLSHIT.
They made that shit UP
and used smooth talking politicians to sell the fairy tale of a benevolent INVISIBLE HAND
to a gullible America.

The ONLY thing MORE stupefying than being able to SELL an "Invisible Hand",
is that they are STILL selling it 30 years later,
and SOME fools are STILL BUYING it.

There is NO Giant Invisible Hand.
There is NO such thing as "Free Trade".
There is NO such thing as a Free Market.

If you WORK for a Living, don't trust ANY politician who says they belong to the religion of the Invisible Hand.
That politician is NOT your friend.
