Quote of the Day: Free Trade is for Common Man, Protectionism is a Rip Off

The cause of free trade has always been about the common man. It is about the right of average people to trade with whomever they want. Protectionism, in contrast, is another way for powerful people to extract money from our pockets and reward their political friends with legal favors. In other words, it’s a rip-off.
 This is from Jeffrey A. Tucker at the Laissez Faire Books
