Finish on an explanation of how free trade is over producing American jobs during the last couple years.

...and that is what these debates always come to, do they not? It's funny how the guy who starts off defending or excusing away the Morrill tariff always ends up revealing that he is, at the heart of the issue, opposed to free trade itself. Call it a case of closet leftism, AFL-CIO membership, steel producer loyalty, or whatnot, but the position is always the same: protection, protection, and more protection. And to substantiate that economically ignorant and wholly leftist call for protection they always turn to post hoc ergo propter hoc nonsense.

Needless to say, son, you've been outed.

What's your problem with Republicans disie boy?

It's the heritage of the south and the Democratic free traders to believe that a prerequisite for a nation to acquire weatlh to keep the average citizen poor.

Funny you should mention steel. Without the 28% percent Morrill Tariff on steel, there would never have been a stell industry in the US, and now you can kindly explain how that would have been so wonderful and peachy keen.

YOu get so silly with that old stuff from Woodrow Wilson.
