Perfectly reasonable. The Chinese demand it all the time as well as the EU.
So interesting that the Chinese are threatening us if we dare to stand up and expect to be treated the same way they are treated regarding trade. They really expect Trump to allow them to eventually be in a position to foreclose on the United States of America?
So true.
I am a true free trade guy, meaning I am against all corporatism/cronyism.
But if China, Japan, and even nations within NATO and around the world can severely limit American made volume, outright bar “American Made”, and or slap high taxes on our goods - and this is called “free trade”, why can’t we do the same in the name of free trade?
Would this not be reciprocal trade?
Obviously our political central planners want us to believe we are not free to do as others have been and are doing to us, or they continue to be proactive in hiding the consequences of what we are really doing with our economic policy.
At the same time, any legitimately elected government around the world has the right to determine foreign trade policy. This includes taxes on foreign goods. However, they should expect the same in return. Our trade policy could literally be this simple.
Would this not mean our trade policy reflects, respects, and treats the trade policy of every nation equally as they do us?
Furthermore, I don’t believe we should have ever legitimized and transferred wealth (power) to any communist government, or Arab country, as they ultimately, no matter how long it may take, desire to conquer or destroy our free nation and way of life. They, by definition and historical record, continue to desire to defeat and replace individual freedom with socialism or Islam. Both enslave society!
This is beyond plain stupid! It is grossly immoral.
Contrary to THE near universal academic thought being taught and consumed at every grade level today, slavery of the individual and individual freedom *ARE NOT MORALLY EQUAL.
It would be tempting to say this was all just a series of ignorant mistakes. However, such a notion is just that, a foolish notion. It is true LIBTARD!
Even if disguised, destructive, and drawn out, it was all by design, to nock us down. It would simultaneously create a dependency within the US population, and serve to propel laziness and crime (immorality), socialism and the ideology of global governance within our own population, while strengthening and bringing to parity global economy/finance, foreign governments, and even a level of parity amongst nations in societal ethics as its foundation. True global governance necessitates the American population are marginalized and the US is just another seat at the table.
The goal was for American wealth and finance to be taken and redistributed around the world, bringing us closer to economic and regulatory parity (control) to smooth the transition to sovereign global governance.
