Please allow me to interrupt the conversations you're having with your imaginary freepers because I need to tell you something important.
Sounds a lot like you want the US to be more like China with state control of how much of the population works in which sector. Now, ordinarily I'd not bother talking to people with crazy ideas like that but atm we got a bunch of Marxist union thugs in Washington that are threatening to do just that. Personally I don't think y'all will get away with it because history's on the side of the optimists. Also, I'm thinking that just because you want America to do what China does, I honestly don't think you want America to actually be like China. You may stop and think about what you're saying.
...You really think that letting china steal hundreds of industries is good for the U.S.A.?...
Whoa you're talking to your imaginary friends again -- let's try and hang on to the real world just a bit more.
China did not 'steal' US industries. What really happened is that I built industries in the US and then I sold my industries to people in China. Last week I wasn't building anything --largely because of those union thugs in Washington-- but right now I'm trying to build a pharmaceutical factory because it's looking like the courts are kicking y'all out of the healthcare business.
Bottom line here is that if you don't like what I'm doing with my factories then you can go out and build your own factories and do what you want. Don't tell me what to do with mine. It's a free country.
I never said that the government should control anything domestically. Just put the embargo in place (or a partial embargo) on china and other countries. The U.s. had a trade embargo on China and Russsia for 40 years of the cold war. Ditto for Cuba . so you are saying that we have to give China, Cuba and other rogue regimes complete access to America, America's industries etc. otherwise then we are marxists. ridiculous. You are saying anyone calling for stopping things from invading the U.S. like illegals, cocaine, China products anyone that says that is a Marxist. what you say is ridiculous. I am for the government removing the 100,000's of pages of regulations against U.S. businesses, and most of the the hundreds of thousands of pages of laws and removing almost all of the government agencies like the EPA, IRS, FEC, HHS, HUD , government schools, dept of energy etc.. You agree with Obama, Marx and democrats on free trade because it destroys the U.S. border and the U.S.
There is nothing in the constitution that says we have to trade with any country.
We have to limit things coming in the country and put restrictions on other countries. I am for removing regulations against individuals and businesses inside the U.S. but the federal government should stop illegals, china armies, China products all which are destroying or could destroy America.
What you say is ridiculous. That we or the government has no right to defend America or keep out illegals or foreign threats. That's what the federal government is there for. then I want the government out of the way of businesses inside the U.S.
The U.S. was on top of the world during the trade embargo against China . after starting trade with china the U.S. decline in manufacturing started and so has the general U.S. decline. Then the declines accelerated with Clinton's free trade agreement.
China has been waging economic war against the U.S. mostly by manipulating its currency relative to the U.S. currency which gives China a manufacturing advantage of 30 times as this causes companies to have to pay U.S. workers 30 times what China workers earn. So who would pay U.S. workers that much when they can pay China workers 50 cents an hour. And you all say that the U.S. makes more than china .
