If to what you refer is crony capitalism, then I'd like to see an argument that crony capitalism can be eliminated (or reduced) by raising tariffs.
It's a little known fact that, when a U.S. company brings a trade complaint to the U.S. government, the taxpayer foots the bill for that company's legal representation via the USTR (or the USITC--I forget which). So there is little incentive to reduce frivolous complaints. The end result is that U.S. taxpayers pay to get themselves screwed by the U.S. government, with the company/industry getting the benefit. What was I saying about crony capitalism?
Open borders for big biz cheap labor, controlling punitive biggov, and free trade for the wealthy 10 percent, have economically gang raped the American middle class.
