Damn, you sure flipped in a hurry.
Why all of the sudden are they entitled to a job?
You're the one who says they're entitled to a job, dude. Remember?
I'm pointing out that your perfect government-planned economy is going to clobber SOMEBODY. Why shouldn't that somebody go to you for a redress of grievances?
If they put their job in front of mine, and above the majority, then screw them.
I am for maximum benefit. Let the public decide.
Again, if their interests are not in my interests I could care less if they die. Doesn't matter to me.
They are seeking their self interests and I am seeking mine. In fact, my interest could be in putting them out of business.
If I am out of a job though, even the importer himself is out of work. So one way or another my employment is in his interest.
Now lets break it down...the issue here is fair and equitable trade. Importing on a one way street and having production from nations who don't buy creates more problems than it is worth.
