No.
There is one critical difference between my positions on trade, and the socialists you refer to.
It is a biggie though:
Keep the jobs in America.
Seems pretty simple. Do not outsource any jobs. Do the jobs in Texas, or California. In Kansas, New Jersey, Washington.
In New Mexico. Minnesota. Alaska. Delaware. South Carolina.
Do the jobs in Nebraska. Or in Colorado.
There are almost limitless possibilities. But we must decide on one thing:
The time to outsource is over.
BRING. BACK. AMERICAN. JOBS.

No, you are arguing exactly the same thing that the far left "progressives" do. They DON'T want competition from other countries. You DON'T want competition from other countries. You have the same position as Bernie Sanders, Ed Schultz, etc.
The world is globalized and that has been a boon for consumers. We can compete with the rest of the world just fine, all we need to do is keep our competitive edge. You'll note that right-to-work states are doing MUCH better than union states. In some cases right-to-work states are booming while the unionized rust belt loses population and falls into economic decline.
Unions are going to have to change into something entirely different if they want to remain relevant. All they are right now are corrupt, bloated left wing interest groups that well run States and companies that want to compete avoid like the plague.
BRING. BACK. AMERICAN. JOBS
What you really mean is KEEP FOREIGN COMPETITION OUT. You do realize that if American companies can't produce things in India with Indian workers, some other countries corporations will. And those corporations will still try to sell those products here in the US market, and your answer to that is 100% tariffs to prevent US made products from having to compete. Like I said, were it up to you we would still be stuck with unreliable, big 3 automaker garbage.
Leftists hate competition. Conservatives thrive on it.
