I now can ' t even find the deal . <| sep |> That won ' t help anyone without knowing where you are . <| sep |> I can ' t believe this is Mike Lee on the Conservative Review . There are so many problems with this article . The concept of populism runs counter to a democratic republic . Conservatives can achieve their goals by focusing on the core philosophy of individual freedom and liberty and inalienable rights , etc . The Republican party should not allow itself to be split into various factions such as populists . Moving on . Whatever its aggregate benefits to the economy , free trade has imposed costs on millions of Americans . This is wrong . Global free trade has provided low cost goods and increased quality of life for all Americans . However existing taxes and tariffs and rules and regulations have made it difficult for small businesses to grow . Republicans should be able to recognize that while globalization and free trade have created enormous opportunity and wealth for the country , those benefits have flowed disproportionately to the wealthy . This is Mike Lee ? This sounds exactly like a Progressive !
