Eliminate free trade and we turn into North Korea. Some people want to take their ball and go home when they are losing. I think Americans are better than that. I say COMPETE. In some areas we will lose and in some we will win. Overall, we will win. How can America be called a nation of liberty if it would prevent free men from selling to other nations and vice versa.

“Eliminate free trade and we turn into North Korea”

BWHAHAAHAHAAA

Direct labor costs are only part of the reason China is so much cheaper. The bigger reason is regulation. China doesn’t have to worry about the EPA, OSHA, EOC or a host of other agencies.

Free trade has nothing to do with it except make it easier for companies to ship American jobs to those regulation free zones.

I'm guessing you don't realize that the entire Federal government was originally funded by ... tariffs. We are under no obligation to provide a market for goods produced outside our nation that throw our own citizens into poverty, it's self-defeating. "Free men" respect and protect the source of their freedom, not compare it to a failed totalitarian state.

The Founding Fathers as just a bunch of Kim Jong Il forerunners ... really. Listen to yourself, you've gone completely 'round the bend.

Anyone that believes this BS is either stupid, mentally ill or Chinese.

lol....you are a true believer in outdated garbage philosophies. South Koreans and Chinese are smarter than you. They know free trade is BS plus they conduct business with this in mind.
