Globalism did not impose environmental regulations and onerous taxes. US government did, and lead the rest of the world into it. And it backfired.

FYI I did not write that globalism imposed the onerous regulations, taxes!

The same government that imposed these regulations, taxes, etc. fast tracked 'free trade' agreements that included changes to our immigration laws. That is why globalism and 'free trade' agreements have functioned as a form of 'reverse protectionism'.

And yes, that same government lead the rest of the world into globalism.

Globalism totally worked in US favor when it was only a way street. That was the time when US was pushing for global trade agreements worldwide. Those days are gone. Rise of Asian markets have changed the rules and skewed the playing field. Its not gonna be a one way street any more. America's current alternatives are to move along on the two way street like everyone else or get off the high way and shut itself out. The former option is still way better the the latter.
