We need a party based on American manufacturing.

Now.

We need to return American manufacturing and do it quickly. We are selling out America’s future.

We need laws, which encourage American manufacturing. And American exports.

Both parties are sold out.

Either we get a party for American trade. Or we start one.

Soon.

RE: We need laws, which encourage American manufacturing. And American exports.

Let’s take computers and smart phones for instance... how do you encourage companies like Apple and the makers of the Android to manufacture them in the USA, given that we can’t compete with Asia on wages?

Yes, but let's not go all populist and Pat Buchanan in redefining modern conservatism.

We should support free (but fair) trade. It was trade unions that helped destroy our manufacturing base with their excessive demands. Businesses found savings by moving overseas. You can't really blame them.

With that said, I don't consider China a fair trader, which is why I prefer products made in Korea (Samsung) or Taiwan (HTC) over Apple, which is made in China. If there was a retail outlet that provided Chinese alternatives I would shop there.
