Does Trump Believe in Free Enterprise? . . .

[redcliffsw]

Trump's proposed tax cuts leave more current income in the hands of earners, and this is a step toward greater freedom of contracting. However, if it means greater debt and future higher taxes, then what it gives with one hand, it removes with the other. Unless a tax cut is matched by permanently diminishing government spending, it cannot be counted as favoring free enterprise.

America does not have free enterprise. America is not a free country. The myth doesn't accord with the reality. We know perfectly well what free enterprise entails, and it's freedom of contract, something that we have some of but something also that is absent from our country in highly significant and important ways.

Republicans control the national government at the moment. Can we expect them to act as promoters of free enterprise? They haven't done that in the past. Trump doesn't signal that he wants them to do it now.
