If I save 10 cents on a dollar buying cheap slave made imports, only to have my taxes go up to feed and house our unemployed, did I save money?
What precisely are you ranting about...... slave made imports?
Your taxes wouldn't go up if the opportunities to invest capital profitably existed in this country. That's the problem. Not the freedom of Americans to buy the best bargain wherever that may be.
All of you protectionists behave as if it's an act of God to have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, deficit government spending, and constant monetary inflation. Your choice to "fix" things is to penalize ourselves.
Makes no sense to me.
