If it does it will kiss off Republicans that have a clue about economics.
Tea Party tops out at 30% because the Left wing socialist will never join Right wing socialist.
Whenever you hear the word “fair,” be very skeptical.
What is your definition of “fair trade?”
Fair trade is not on the Tea Party agenda and I don’t think it should be.
The Tea Party is for free markets, which in a way calls for free trade.
Be suspicious whenever The Government wants to interfere in free markets, especially if they start using words like “fair.”
Only true conservatives fight against “free” trade. The Oligarchal Communists want a one world order so want “free” trade, and the Oligarchal Corporatists want all power and no accountability, and therefore want “free” trade.
No.
How about truly free trade instead of ‘fair’ or the Orwellian definition of ‘free’ trade we have now?
If you want to warm the hearts of the likes of Bernie Sanders and Richard Trumka, then yes.
"Fair trade" is almost always code for protectionist policies that allow overpaid unionized workers to keep their jobs without actually competing.
Sorry, but many manufacturing jobs simply don't warrant high salaries and gold plated health care and pension plans. The sad truth is many manufacturing positions are low skilled jobs that require little to no education and are doomed to be farmed off as cheap overseas labor. Trying to stop that from happening is just delaying the inevitable and guaranteeing bloated, inefficient unionized companies continue to exist long after their sell date.
Not just the TEA Party, every working stiff is gonna have a choice of a lowering of wages/standard of living or popular isolationism/protectionism. We’ve seen the video of teachers demanding higher taxes. Americans of all flavors from the elite down are going to be upset with the new order...unless we can compete. We cant. We won’t.
It’s called tarriffs. I notice that no one has mentioned the word.
If you set tarriffs too high, then you elminate competition and prices will rise. If you set them too low, then other countries move in and all our factories close down.
At the moment, tarriffs are too low. We don’t want high tarriffs, but we do need some tarriffs.
As for free trade, if you look into the details you will find that almost all other countries have ways of keeping out American good, or of taxing them. The only “free” trade is goods coming into America and shutting down our manufacturing.
Europe has value added tax. We have corporate tax. As a result, American goods are heavily taxed in Europe, but European goods are not taxed in America because they pay no corporate tax, unlike American companies. So, the American companies are encouraged to move abroad.
And the international body that regulates trade is heavily biased against America, much like the UN.
Fair trade and reasonable tarriffs is what we need.
So what happens when Barney Frank heads the Congressional Committee that with Nancy Pelosi and Sheila Jackson Lee, gets to decide what “fair” means?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
Don’t know - a lot of Tea Party folks seem to show up in foreign cars.
Once we feel we have to have a government that controls our work, products, people, quantity, and quality, we’ve lost our freedom; we’ve lost the free market and the freeDOM makes us great, and we’ve lost our belief that we CAN compete, and WIN, against other countries.
I prefer free trade, thank you. Who gets to decide what is fair trade? It’s the same problem with “hate crimes”. Someone, usually liberals, gets to determine what is hate or what is fair.
you are better off fighting for a strong dollar and lower corprate taxes
