"the rule of law, democracy, and free trade"

All corruption begins with the corruption of language.

The rule of law? The rule of whose law? Democracy? Does that mean the right to vote for politicians who will continuously invent new laws and further restrict your freedom?

But then again, it is "free trade", that is the biggest joke. Does that mean: "free", as long as you don't trade in bitcoins?

Continuously inventing new laws is kind of the job description for congresspeople and senators.
