[Count of Monte Fisto]

They didn't shutdown the Zenith factory here and reopen it in Japan and they didn't shutdown the Chevy plant here and reopen it in Japan. Japan was an open society that competed with American products and paid their workers well. Red China is a Communist dictatorship that pays their workers near slave wages, workers that Western Corporations exploit and use to undercut American workers and products.

If you can't see the difference between Japan and Red China then your are either a shill or a moron. Free Traitors have ruined this country and people that make excuses for it are just as guilty as the men that moved our jobs overseas.

That same protectionist argument has been going on for at least 500 years.

England under Henry VIII couldn’t compete with the cloth manufacturers in the Netherlands, so he passed protectionist laws that required the peasants to wear wool hats made in England.

The Luddites couldn’t compete against machines, so they rioted and burned factories. Machines by the way really are slave labor.

English farmers couldn’t compete against American farmers, so they passed more protectionist laws and they went further in the hole.

None of those laws get you anywhere. In the end you lose anyway.

Japan did not pay their workers well post WWII. They were hungry and they worked cheap; and an open society? Right. Sure it was.

The Zenith factory didn’t shut down and reopen in Japan. Why should they? There was already and Sony factory there and a Toyota plant. Those steel foundry jobs disappeared, so did the manufacturing jobs, and the people bitched about it then just like you are now.

The answer is do it better, find something else to do, or start a war and win it (and don’t give away the win with a Marshall plan). Root, hog, or die.

So, you’re either ignorant just another Union shill.
