Protectionists whine when foreigners don't buy our goods. Protectionists whine when foreigners buy our goods. I think I've noticed a common theme.

The last year I had my business, I received at least three or four calls a month from companies trying to place workers.

These workers had all lost their jobs due to imports

How many calls did you get to place workers who already got jobs due to exports?

So talk to me about taxes?

I think lower taxes are better than higher taxes. But maybe that's because I'm a conservative.

Yes, I think some aspects of conservatism do appeal to you. but you are (IMHO) extremely short sighted.

As I've stated many times on this board, there are going to be winners and losers in the new global economy. Simple fact of life: Yes or No?

As we have the highest over all wages, the USA blue collar guy is going to be the loser. Not everyone is cut out to be a hedge fund manager or brain surgeon, sorry that's life's lottery.

So those that lose, do they retain their belief in hard work and fair play? Or do they vote for the Democrats and their wealth transfer plans?
