I do blame the companies.
“Free traders” would sell their own mother to Beijing, if it saved a penny on production costs.
America is at risk. This is no longer a parlor game of make-believe “Atlas Shrugged”. We are destroying our own nation.
Time is running out.
Free Traders only play the hand they have been dealt. They are answerable to the share holders and the prospect of losing market share and with it shareholder value will not be tolerated. Further blame the American consumer who price shops for everything. In a free market the equivalent good differentiated only by price will win out. Absent any tariff protections countries with lower labor costs, lower taxes and less regulation will beat the costs of US labor, high taxes and onerous regulations.
Given the right business environment those same "Free Traders" will kick the ass of any top down, oppressive society in the world just like they did in WWII.
