if we insisted that everything be made in America, we'd be poor.

That's a myth because new technology changes the game. We are on the cusp of the robotics age, and robots have no geographic preference, they cost about the same to operate everywhere on Earth. We're near the automation point where for the first time in history the socialists will finally have a native worker class that doesn't mind having all their work output confiscated. Automation would be much farther along if we weren't cheating by exploiting third world labor as human robots.
