American auto workers turn out a fine product.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, bubba. They charge too much and deliver too little.

But have you ever thought that if we protected American workers, YOU might have more money and more income?

Actually, I wouldn't, after the cost-push inflation got finished with my money, and the overall lowering of quality that comes when you shield people from competition.

But I think America is better off with a strong middle class. And free trade destroys that middle class.

There's one guy I can think of who would agree with you. His name was Karl Marx.

And the only nation that practices your notions re: trade with perfect fidelity is that economic superpower of the Pacific Rim...

...North Korea.

ROTFLMAO!!! Marvelous! No, sir, you are incorrect. Mr. Karl Marx, my dear Poohbah - is in complete agreement with YOU! He was very much in favor of free trade!

You think not? Perhaps you would like to read his thoughts on free trade? Just for you, I have provided a very special link!
