Pat's right about this. We need to level the playing field by using tarrifs and lowering the burden of regulations and taxes on American companies.

Pat's been right about Trade and Immigration for at least a decade, and the only RINO response is usually: "well, he's a racist, homophobe, protectionist, anti-Semite, who can't be elected, and that's why he's wrong on Immigration and Trade."

He has?? He was saying the Japanese were going to destroy us economically over a decade ago. He said after NAFTA we were done for. A decade later our economy is as strong as it has ever been while Japan's has been in a decade-long decline.

And you can throw in that Pat was right about foreign entanglements bringing war to our shores, accepting gay and abortion practices is destructive to America, and China should not be a 'most favored trading nation'. You know Pat is right, when Goebbel's big lie name-calling is the retort.

You know who else agrees with Pat that free trade is bad? The lunatic left. Here's a list of your fellow travelers who protest against the WTO & GATT:

Tom Hayden (former head of SDS and a Marxist)
Ralph Nader (Head of Green Party)
AFL-CIO
Socialist Workers of Britain

As Pat became more isolationist he also becomes more anti-free market. Watching Pat, it is pretty clear that he can't be against immigration and opposed to free trade without also becoming more and more sympathetic to subsidies and various social welfare programs (after all trade barriers are subsidies to domestic businesses).

Pat has recently advocated caps on executive pay, boosts in unemployment benefits and deplored the "harshness" of the free market. Are you on board with this?
