But it is still an action. You still have to do something. And you don't to answer a question.

Did any of these letters contain a call for the relevant authority to end tariffs and subsidies to allow third world countries to trade freely with the US? I think polls, especially in the democratic end of the spectrum, will drop significantly if that's a premise. If we want to end world poverty, we can. But we need them to have free access to markets, both in the US and the EU. Everything else is just talking, and self-hating liberals who think they can save the world by paying higher taxes.
