standing up for America is supporting free trade. Its not free trade that is killing America but government taxes and regulation and federal reserve devaluing of the currency. Who would invest in USA if their currency is losing value every day, who would invest in USA if they lose money from the investment? Please watch the link I provided on Peter Schiff

1. This is the error in your thinking
2. you fancy yourself a libertarian  free market kind of guy
3. fine!
4. this can work out great within the borders of the United States of America
5. we have good rule of law within our borders to keep up a good and honest commerce
6. one of the first things we did when the US was founded was to eliminate imposts and tariffs between the 13 states
7. we had courts to enforce this
8. ---
9. but International libertarian free markets do not exist
10. there is no such equivalent for international trade>>>>
11. because geopolitics kick in and national interests kick in
12. it is dog eat dog among nations that are not necessarily friends
13. one nation trying to screw another
14. The Japanese, Taiwan, Korea screwed us for 30 years on trade but at least it was the Cold War so we had reasons to make sure Japan, Korea were strong allies
15. China is not an ally or a friend
16. they are ruthless fierce competitors
17. why do we accept unequal trade from China that has allowed them to build up their military?
18. why did we allow China to take so many jobs and industries from us?
19. they spy on us and have stolen every US technology they come across
20. it is suicide to let the Chinese get rich off us but this has been the policy of the "free traitors" in Washington
21. so much for free trade...It is dumb and I curse it. 
22. FREE TRADE IS FOR CHUMPS!

I don't get it. What is your solution?

lower corporate tax rates? decrease regulation? ok, those sound like good things to do, I agree... but after you have done both of those and we are still getting our asses handed to us by workers in China earning a dollar a month at a factory that pumps it's waste into the nearest river THEN what do you propose?
