So you want to pander to the liberals who want to eat their cake every day and not work for meat and potatoes like everyone else?

Nope I want the Republican party to go back to its core principles of looking out for the interests of all working Americans. Protectionism was consistently in their party platform and actually practiced through the eighties.

Free Trade as we know it today was repudiated by traditional Republicans for exactly the reasons we are seeing, it would drive down wages and force people to compete with those willing or driven to work for far far less and under harsher conditions. I want the free market to work on our terms, not those of third world countries.

What you're saying is tough we're in a global economy now thanks to our own government's policies so if anyone isn't willing to work for minimum wage then they're lazy bums who don't want to support their family. It's the perfect recipe for the democrats to come back into power using their well worn class warfare tactics.
