Freedm AND Equality

Thanks, Andrew, for pointing out this interview.

It is interesting to me how many Americans today have forgotten that our democracy and our values must be based on both freedom AND equality. Our founders knew that.

We should have the freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness AND we should all be equal before the law.

Getting sued by the WTO would probably be justified. Hopefully, it would also teach some of our leaders that no country and no person is above the law.
