Are you Chinese?

No, are you a bigot?

Are you involved with international trade or finance?

Yes I participate in trade with other countries and I have bank accounts in other countries.

Do you make a significant amount of your income through the trade imbalance with China?

Probably less than most. I have no debt. If you have any debt it is finance by the sale of foreign securities. However I have imported and exported to the UK, Egypt, Indonesia, China, India and Chechosovoica. I also served and fought in the US military to preserve the freedom of US citizens. That includes the right to free trade. I have already lived through part of the era of protected trade. When you provide my products made by a US company in the US at the same price I will trade with you. However when you provide me with a union I can't afford and tariffs that would put me out of business I will trade elsewhere.

How do you make your living?

" How do you make your living?"

I handle storage management for a large credit corporation. And no, I'm not a bigot. You're trying to defuse my question by using the word bigot thinking that it's going to shut me up. Try using the "R" word next time it usually works for the other race-baiters on the forum.

On the other hand, thank you for the honesty of your answers.

There is no right to "free trade" in the Constitution. There is, however the authority to levy tariffs.
