fancytalk | Free Market perspective

This was sent to me in an email and I don't have a person to credit for the thought.

Think about this:
A car company can move its factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market.
A toy company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a free market.
A shoe company can produce its shoes in south East Asia and claim it's a free market.
A major bank can incorporate in Bermuda to avoid taxes and claim it's a free market.
We can buy HP Printers made in Mexico. We can buy shirts made in Bangladesh.

We can purchase almost anything we want from 20 different countries. BUT, heaven help the elderly who dare to buy their prescription drugs from a Canadian pharmacy.
That's called un-American and you think the pharmaceutical companies don't have a powerful lobby? Think again!

I won't get on my soapbox about pharmaceutical companies and prescription drugs, but I had never thought about this issue from the perspective of all the other things that we are able to buy from other countries.
