Jobs are outsourced because nobody is doing anything to stop it.
Meanwhile, China is protectionist and rapidly taking everything we and our ancestors worked to build and leave in our hands.
“Free trade” = treason.
Free Trade = Freedom. Why should anyone stop private individuals from doing business elsewhere. I better not catch you buy anything from China, because you’re a traitor, and don’t complain thats its the cheapest option available. Obviously when it came to your own pocket, you pick freedom, but when it came to someone else’s pocket, you want government to force them to buy American only
You’re under the wrong impression that this is a one way street. That China benefit while US suffer. When trade is done voluntarily, both side benefit
Many large unions are traitors too. Like the SEIU and AFL-CIO which are pushing hard and spending millions to pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Do you support amnesty? How does that help working people? Give me a break.
Here’s how it goes in our union neck of the woods:
UNION: We want $30 an hour!
COMPANY: We can pay you $25.
UNION: $30 or we go on strike!
COMPANY: OK, go on strike, we’re going to Mexico.
UNION: Well fine then, get your ass outta here and don’t come back!
COMPANY: OK then, we will.
UNION: We showed them guys!
