I stand up for my fellow man when I call protective tarriffs what they are "job subsidies". Subsidizing jobs is neither "fair" nor is it "competition".

Competing for a job when the other guy makes less than minimum wage and I have paid for his education with my tax dollars and he isn't paying income tax here in the United States isn't fair either. Remember we are our own soverign nation, this isn't the United States of India, make the playing field level and Americans can kick the s... out of any one else on any playing field, even when the field is not level we still can for the most part.

You're just standing up for foreigners, for whom Americans have already sacrificed quite enough.

I'm standing up for my fellow Americans and I'm standing on the solid ground of the first 200 years of American history, as well as many previous Republican Party platforms, when I claim that Protective Tariffs make a strong America and build a strong middle-class.

The United States federal government is subsidizing companies to send factories and jobs out of the country. OPIC is an attack on middle class American voters.

I guess thats why China needs to stop it. They are the worst of the worst on that issue.

Preditory pricing or dumping product below cost is not fair. China has taken 80 of the electronic industry. Engineering and manufacturing for Circuit Board shops in the US are being laid off in droves. More than half of the domestic PCB manufacturers have shut their doors. I have Electrical Engineer friends that have been out of work for more than 1 year. Some have given up and are in real estate. One committed suicide. I guess the arguement boils down to, do you want cheap things, or are you willing to pay double and have a job? The jury is still out.
