It's labor fears. It's honoring the heritage of being a sovereign nation. Something you don't seem to care about.
This nation was not built on the notion of soverignty, frankly the fact that the federal government has failed as miserably as it has in the few jobs the founders entrusted to it is disgusting, but none the less the founders were not prone to blame the woes of the country on business, they were pro capitalism, pro free market, and pro the government protecting the borders.
Liberal socialists like to pretend that business causes the problems which government does.
