The fact that in real life partners will never behave exactly as we do means that you can be anti-business and deny it at the same time.

Tariffs and import restrictions no more anti-business than domestic business income taxes and regulation. Either intervention will "distort" the marketplace. The only question is whether to continue distorting the market in favor of off-shoring or shift the balance back in favor of the American worker.

Globalist elites have targeted the American middle class for economic and cultural destruction because they see it as a political threat.

We need to understand together that the business owner does in fact work, and usually twice the hours that lower scale employees do.  Marx was hot on the idea that managers aren't important and witness how the masses fared in his "worker's paradise."   The lesson is that the (so called) worker can not be helped by hurting the employer.   Next we should remember that there are many options with the role of the state in the marketplace, and my view is that we already have too much taxation, regulation, and market distortion and we need less not more. 

This is supposed to be a conservative forum and we should already be in agreement on these points.  We should already agree that we want lower business income and import taxes along with fewer business regulations.
