America is the market everybody else wants into and they should pay for the privilege.

You don't seem to realize that trade has two equal parties--the buyer and the seller. You can't beat up on one without giving the other a black eye as well. Let other governments beat up on their consumers, forcing artificially high prices and inflating the cost of living with high tarrifs. Free trade is almost always the economically and morally sensible policy, even if unilateral.

Oh, BS. Go try selling cell phones in Japan or farm products to the French. What planet are you living on? More "This is the way I wish it was" instead of "This is the way it is."
