Nah, they are just calling you a hater. I can see like most of the others who argue for unfettered free trade on this forum, friendly persuasion isn't your strong point.
No government interference should be allowed or tolerated.
Agreed in theory, but the reality is that our Asian economic rivals use government to protect nascent industries and technologies and also use currency trading by central banks to sop up US dollars rather than buying US goods. As an example, during the time the Korean auto industry was forming in the '80's the Korean government ran a 300% tariff on US autos.
I think trade globally has to be managed on a country by country, case by case basis. If we are to open our markets to other countries, they have to be truly willing to open theirs.
What goods do we still make in the USA?
Actually, they have called me an America hater.

I have yet to see a friendly exchange on this forum on this topic.
And friendly is what you are to people who don't call you a traitor.
I don't suffer fools gladly, so they can keep that friendly nonsense after they call me a traitor.
