A fair trade

Re "Free And Fair Trade Is Good For Business," Editor's Page, May 21, Page 7: More free trade will make consumers in those areas affected more prosperous through lower prices brought on by market competition, [and] make workers more prosperous by widening the demand for their services

Realizing that onerous regulation is hampering the ability of its citizens to compete in open markets, government should act to remove regulations.

By your definition of fair, all should be equally shackled so none can do their best. Who pays for this? Consumers, as usual.

If regulations can't be held in Mexico, how [will] they be held throughout the Americas?
