"They see their bought and paid-for access slipping away."

Or, the author is right and Trump is wrong.

Of course the author is wrong and you are so easily fooled. They don't teach economics or civics in school anymore, not really. And, of course, Reagan is so.... 1980s - only to be brought up in campaign sloganeering and never really explored as to how he governed.

Oh, and the founding fathers are great for a Cruz campaign meme about Constitution stuff.... but again, how they really governed is completely ignored - how about their first tax being a tariff.

The bottom line is China, Mexico etc are all protectionist, and China is particularly good at devaluing their currency. So, there is no free trade. Just like Reagan did, you slap on some strategic tariffs to make free trade actual free trade.

Let's get the facts straight: shipping jobs overseas and to Mexico kills our tax base. Taxing Wall STreet doesn't work because their profits really come from the Fed printing money and giving it to them interest free - so, it's all paper wealth. You need to make things... get it... not just service things or short stock for a living.

This higher prices for the consumer meme is a ruse. How about those Polo shirts, Nike shoes and IPhones - really cheap aren't they.

vote Trump.

No, the author has entry level understanding of Trade and wrongly think that makes them an “expert” on the topic.

The author is full of crap. THEY are EMPLOYING THEIR PEOPLE while America’s people are taxed enough already and others can’t get a job so have to live off welfare. When WE employ our own people, pay them our dollars here, they spend their dollars basically here and all that builds the economy and pays off our national debt. That is basic economics. Being a shill for the new world order in which other countries win and America loses until we lose our Sovereignty is NOT about US WINNING! Articles like this serve only to show how our schools don’t teach the BASICS anymore, nor do they teach American History, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. They teach how to be FOOLS!
