Why does your pursuit of what you consider national sovereignty supersede another person's pursuit of their individual sovereignty? It seems to me that when people say “national sovereignty” what they really want to do is pursue the policy that promotes their own best interest.

Yes, I do indeed consider that the sovereignty of the USA as an independent nation is more important than the goal of an individual businessman.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.”

Sounds like you have a problem with the US Constitution because under it, Congress is allowed to regulate foreign trade. Yeah, the nation comes before those who’s loyalty is to the their corporate logo rather than the nation itself.
