Yup, my complete sentence was Maybe not at the same level as third world countries, but then that's why they are third world countries -- they try to restrict incoming goods.
If you want the US to become a Third world country then fine, put in more restriction like the third world does right now. BUt remember, these current third worlders are removing their restrictions at the same time we're increasing ours.

Reminder: the USA became the world's most powerful industrial economy PRECISELY by using tariffs. This is the model that PRC is now using against us, with great success.

PRC is at WAR with the USA. You have a pipe-dream globaloney vision of friendly PRC Gummint types--forgetting Tianamen Square and the millions and millions of Chinese executed by the scumbags running that fiefdom.

Get real.

Tuay po schEE? I'm not calling for tarrifs. I'm not calling for restricting companies who want to move overseas. I'm calling for ending corporate taxation at home. I'm calling for offshore countries to pick up the bill for defending offshore interests. How is this restricting? Or do you mean controlling the borders in regard to legal vs illegal immigration? Is that the source of your angst?
