"I would love to hear a intelligent, reasonable defense of todays trade polices, but I have yet to hear a single one."

What is the maxim about assuming?

Who Said I support this lunacy that government is foisting on business?

Most of the ideas(?) on this thread relate to a more-of-the same attitude. My favorite plan presented by your side was to make a law in regards to how much the CEOs of these corporations can make. Punishing them if they dare to make more money than the workers deemed necessary.

That plan is straight from Atlas Shrugged and it would cause a stampede of Blue Chip companies straight to mainland China.

Want to stop the madness, it is really very simple> Get rid of this madness that business has to deal with IN THE USA.

Until that happens more and more companies are going to run from the USA as fast as their little Capitalist hearts can carry them.

And I say more power to them. Shrug Baby Shrug, and send the socialist parasites into oblivion!

I dont support restricting the amount of money CEOs make, but what I support along with most people who debate in these threads is fair trade. If a country wont float its currency, use tariffs, if a country has tariffs against US goods and services, then have similar tariffs against them. Its a two way street.

I will be the first to agree that there needs to be Tort reform and reform in enviromental laws, but guess what, its a GOP congress they are doing nothing on these fronts.

That said, I know many Neo-Conservatives do not like to hear this, but the US is not a every man for themselves society, never has been and never will be. If you support companies moving to China as fast as they can, again, there will be severe rammifications on society and politics at home.
