Donald Trump is Pro-Life. Laura Ingraham Show Interview. (Audio)

I want to know more about Trump. I think he might be the real deal. Why?
1. He likes Sarah Palin at a time when the GOP are tossing her under the Bus. Its not a popular stand but he stands for her.
2. He doesn’t like Red China slave labor products killing our manufacturing. Put a TAX on them. Then People will buy things Made in USA—put tax on junk from Mexico too and Canada.
3. He has shown himself to be a leader making the hard choices. He’s not 100% right but he’s right more times than Obama.
4. Hes a card carrying Capitalist. Ruthless, bold, and a scrapper when things get tough. I want to hear what he has to say.

Carp from Wal-Mart? Words fail me. That’s almost even less appetizing than a gin and root beer cocktail. Almost.

Trump, like a lot of people, really needs to read some Bastiat.

Tarrifs are a tax on things we buy. Therefore we pay them. If it warms your heart to send more money to the feds, feel free to write a check, but don’t screw up the price of the goods I buy.

If China does mess with their currency to keep their prices low, why should I mind that they impoverish themselves? By keeping the Yuan low they keep the price of their labor low and we gain more value in goods for less of our money. They are thus exporting wealth.

Let me make an example for you. If the baker in town is selling bread so cheap you can’t possible beat it yourself, and is in fact losing money, why not take advantage of it and do something else with your time which you can make more money at? He’ll go broke eventually. If he tries to undercut to put everyone out of business, people will get back into the baking business when he tries to go cutthroat on prices.

These days it doesn’t even take a recession for people to jump on the protectionist bandwagon. They want their nanny state corporate protection even in good times (ie Steel Tariffs under Bush).

Anyway did anyone care to notice that most of the big manufacturing concerns which left for elsewhere happened to be all union? Hmmm. Let me think about that one.

Trump = Perot

Only if he runs as a third party candidate.

Fair enough.

Before backing Trump or any candidate we need to get them all to pledge to support the GOP nominee.

The last thing we need is four more years of Obama because we are splitting the vote three ways.

Let me make an example for you. If the baker in town is selling bread so cheap you can’t possible beat it yourself, and is in fact losing money, why not take advantage of it and do something else with your time which you can make more money at? He’ll go broke eventually.

The Baker isn't losing money. He has legions of slave labor to keep making it for him. When one dies another is there to replace him. As for sending money to the feds to pay for the tax, that is only aplicable if you buy the stuff. Walk around Target and Walmart. How much of that stuff is really a necessity? Look in peoples carts at the needless garbage they are buying. Then walk down your street on garbage night. How much of that stuff really needed to be thrown away or did someone see a 68 cent microwave and buy it just for fun. I may have overpayed for my 30 year old union built appliances, but they are fixable and run forever. I can't say the same for my new Chinamen built stuff.

There is going to have to be a discussion on this and Trump is the only one making it. We either head on down the road to ruin, letting the Chinamen take our wealth and turn it into military expenditures, or we get people back to work and end this China nightmare.

By the way, the New York Stock Exchange has just been taken over by the Germans and they are getting rid of the NY in the title. Is this really a sign of strength of the US on the world stage?

I think raising tariffs would be a good idea, to protect American industry and workers, IF other taxes were lowered an equivalent amount.

And you would need to deal with internal matters that make American goods non-competitive, such as union rules and stupid overregulation.

Free trade might be nice, but unfortunately it’s not really free. It’s badly biased against us in many ways.

You don't understand the Chinese economy if you don't know about the structural problems they have. Their economy is a ticking time bomb (which compounds their demographic time bomb). But in any case the baker in this case is getting poorer. You don't sell labor for under cost to make money.

If I sell you a good with a devalued currency, I'm getting less for it than I should, and will be paying more for raw materials than I should. They are impoverishing themselves.

The PRC Mandarins may think they are immune to the laws of economics (and you agree with them), but they aren't and reality will catch up with them.

Since you evidently think export economies are the way to be, explain the economic 'dynamo' that is Japan. They are probably the most purely export oriented nation out there and their economy has been a basket case for twenty years. Their government bonds have been downgraded in status and their nation debt is well above their GDP.

He's the only one making it?!? Shucks, I hear plenty of Democrats making it. I hear plenty of unions officials making it. I hear plenty of leftist activists making it. He sure is keeping good company.

By the way, the New York Stock Exchange has just been taken over by the Germans and they are getting rid of the NY in the title. Is this really a sign of strength of the US on the world stage?

Sarbanes-Oxley was the doom of our financial markets. Nobody in their right mind would want to deal with the regulatory nonsense involved in a publicly traded company these days. Why do you think Facebook just did a private offering?

Free trade might be nice, but unfortunately it’s not really free. It’s badly biased against us in many ways.

What people always fail to understand about trade is who exactly pays for any restrictions.

If I make it harder for you to sell your goods to me, I suffer, you don't. Someone else will buy your goods. I am only hurting myself. Tariffs are not magical money machines which will create wealth and improve productivity. They are a tax pure and simple and destroy wealth. They don't create anything. They merely shift wealth from segments of the economy which are profitable to ones which are not.

I can assure you, the Chinese will never pay any tariffs we impose. We will. Every single consumer will pay more for goods and lower their standard of living.

Then if a tariff targets just China, manufacturing will move to another place with cheap labor. Of course then we put up new barriers and tick off other nations. All the while we wall off the opportunity to buy inexpensive goods and take advantage of comparative advantage. We merely impoverish ourselves to the benefit of industries which cannot, for whatever reason, compete in a global market.

When we played games with protectionism last in a big was was Smoot Hawley. We were an export economy at the time and believed that by restricting imports we could get out of the economic slump that would end up as the Great Depression. We made things incredibly worse. As other nations slammed up barriers our exports plummeted and jobs vanished.

It is an important thing to note that the figures we use for trade values are fairly bunk in any case. Take an iPhone. According to trade statistics since they are assembled in China, they are an import to the U.S. and the whole ~$400 phone counts as a trade deficit with China. However as they are only assembling parts from elsewhere and didn't do any of that design work, it's a completely bogus statistic. Most of the money on every one of those phones is made by Apple because they designed the phone, did the marketing, and wrote the software. The high productivity part of the process which has the high salary, high productivity jobs are here. Some schlep sitting in a factory in China making didly squat an hour stuffing pieces in a case didn't make money on that phone.

He also takes the Tea Party party seriously . He is unashamedly courting them first.

why won’t Trump go on Mark Levin’s show?
