If I have one million dollars to spend on stuff, and I spend it all on foreign made junk, how are your living standards improved?

Well, doc, one thing I could do is be the guy who gets it to you. It doesn't magically appear just because you want it.

Now compare that to what if I and many other people bought things from you, now is your standard of living going to be effected?

That depends on what I can buy with the money. If it's just a bunch of overpriced American junk (say for example a 1981 Dodge K car instead of a Datsun that will go 300,000 miles), then not really. If you're forced to pay more by the government (via their coercive limitation of competition) your living standard is also reduced. I don't want the government used as a tool to improve my living standard at your expense, or anyone elses. I'll get your money the old fashioned way thanks, by offering more value for it.

Goes against Free trade by having an American do the work.

The last half of your response is untilligable to anyone but you as it relates to the question.

"I'll get your money the old fashioned way thanks, by offering more value for it."

I undestand what you are saying; but for the most part we are not talking quality or being able to provide more value. Plain and simple, this comes down to cheap labor.

A large number of "high paying" American jobs will be candidates for outsourcing in the future unless labor costs are pushed down.

This isn't as simple as improving quality or offering more value; it already is better here.

OK.

US based trucker: 10,000 regulations, safety, sleep schedules, fair hiring, minimum wages, etc...

Mexican trucker: exempt from US regulations, and allowed anywhere in the US, thanks to NAFTA.

That is one of the big problems with you Free Traitors. You hate this country so much that you would rather see foreign governments benefit, then you turn around and demand clean air, water, constant electricity, safeguards and protections against fraud, a postal system, passable roads, medical care, retirement system, courts, police, military, utilities and a host of other things, but refuse to pay for these benefits through buying products made in this country that will be taxed by this country to benefit this country.

Since you clearly hate this country and only care to exploit it and the people for your own selfish purposes, why haven't you left and moved to India, China or Russia? Your money goes there, and clearly you think that the people there are superior to Americans, why don't you get closer to the source of all of this greatness?

Because you are a thief and leech wishing to take advantage of the things in this country while benefiting foreigners with your patronage.

This is why you hate tariffs on foreign goods, you don't want to see any of your money spent on this country you selfishly loot and pillage.

Tough talk, but I really get tired of you thieves that wantg to exploit this country's greatness and do absolutely nothing to maintain it for our posterity.
