And you still won’t (and can’t) deny that you’re nothing but a protectionist, willing to impoverish everyone over your fatuity.

Unseemly? OK, you’re entitled to your opinion. The readers here can figure out for themselves who might be unseemly.

I need say no more, your rubbish has been refuted without meaningful rejoinder from you. If you have one please serve it up, I’ll be happy to send it to the same pile where the rest of your BS resides.

Before 1980 we had trade surpluses and we were basically self sufficient in manufacturing. We didn't seem impoverished then. A 20% tariff on imported manufactured goods wouldn't impoverish anyone. Demagogue much?

George Washington was a protectionist and I am a protectionist. Marx was a free trader and you are free trader. Need I say more.
