Without the Constitution, then it is theft to steal money from tax payers to protect Corporate Global interests.
The only reason we are half way across the world with our military and spend more than all countries combined is to protect their interests.
All taxation is theft, Constitution be damned.
I agree with you on the military.
And I was wrong on Marx; however, "free-trade" is still State-managed trade.
Economics is a philosophy, not a science. There are no "laws" of economics as there are in physics.
I said it before but repeat for those who don't get it: the original "free trade" ideas were thought out by Adam Smith and David Hume. They assumed that trade would be kept in balance by the exchange of gold (Hume's "price specie flow mechanism").
In 1971, "tricky" Dick Nixon abolished the convertibility of US dollars into gold by foreign central banks. Thereafter, the US trade deficit exploded.
No, economics is a science and every economist worth his salt understands the advantages to liberalized trade.

"But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade."
