I wish you’d stop comparing the USA to the third world it really reveals what you really think of the USA. Sad and pathetic.

I’m not specifically comparing the USA to any other countries. And FU for the insinuation that I don’t love the USA, or whatever it is you meant by that weird and intentionally offensive remark.
I’m comparing the relatively rich countries (which does indeed include the US) to the relatively poor countries. Why? Because all the rich countries have a number of things in common, and all the poor countries have a number of things in common.
But you’re hung up on the simplistic trade-is-bad, and don’t want to go beyond that. And that’s totally OK. I come at it from several different angles. And that’s OK too.
I have to say, to question someone’s love of country, particularly on a site like FR, is a total dick move. Despicable.
Free Traitors hate their patriotism questioned. I don't get that when every trade deal weakens the USA and its currency and more people are unemployed or under employed.
