I have a conscience. It tells me that I should not ask another for my support. I accept the risks of freedom. When I can't compete with anyone who chooses to challenge my place in the market, I am done. No crying to my government

Good, I'll be right over to hog tie you, prostrate you on the ground with 200 pounds on your back and then race you 100 yards for everything you own. If you can't compete, no fair whining about it. Oops, didn't say anything about fairness or a level playing field did we.. how obtuse of you. lost that one. wanna just mail me my winnings, or are you going to put up a fight now that you'll want to specify a fair fight...

..And you almost looked like you were making sense for a moment. Almost. Or is your conscience still telling you, stupidly, you were beaten, just mail him the stuff. If so, you need a transplant and psychiatric help. Fairness, is what tariffs bring - a balancing of the playing field so that .37 cent wages can't undermine our economy. Tariffs make .37 cents an hour into 5.53 an hour or higher depending on the competing interest in the field so that you aren't being undercut and the better product wins on an even playing field instead of a rigged field. This is pretty basic stuff that sheep understand. How is it that intellectual superiors are so ignorant of it as to look foolish?

Come on over Havoc but I warn you, I compete pretty well. If it's the jungle you favor I can win there too but in the country I live in there are rules, just as few as possible. Assault and battery and theft are illegal. Also please note, no one ever guaranteed you that the plan you made 30 years ago was good for all time. If you want to live in the world, deal with change. If you can't deal with change fall behind and lose. You choice but you're not the only one who gets to make it.
