So buy something else.
IF “Free Markets” means a continued influx of Red Chinese goods that are short term “painless” but in the long term set us up for Chinese World dominence. Then I guess I’m against “free markets.”
The key to saying smart things is to explain in rational, objective terms why you want what you want. The cost of manufacturing certain goods in China today is lower than making those same goods here. So why exactly does it weaken America if an American pays less for shoes made in China and then has the extra money to spend on something else?
We MUST bring manufacturing BACK to North America...
Why?
...and STOP Chinese economic warfare which is financing a large bigup of Chinese Military might in the Pacific like the Japenese leading up to WWII.
What is "economic warfare"? Do you mean "competition"? Competition is part of reality. We can't stop it. The Chinese have every right to manufacture stuff and sell it. If they are violating trade agreements then that is something we should take up with them. But if they are just working hard and trying to get rich then so what? Why shouldn't they?
I’m willing to pay more and bring work back. So, IF that isn’t being for “free markets”...so be it.
Do what you want with your money. Leave my money alone.
Bought a suit recently. The store said cloth is not made for suits in the US anymore.
Come to think of it, I don’t know of any mills anywhere in the US.

No friend...is warfare. The Red Chinese are set on conquering us either economically or militarily....it is just a matter of time. I am primarily a social/morale conservative...but military defense is not far behind. China is a threat to us and our future. I want to put an end to that. The so-called free markets are just an instrument they use to defeat us.
Whether you don’t want to pay more or not...IF I have any say, I will put national security ahead of a “free market” where the Chinese are beating us badly. Plus, much of our military resources must be focused on the Pacific because of the rise of China with empire ambitions - they need to be stopped. By cheap today and your children and grandchildren will pay the price in the future. Every dollar going to Red China is just financing their rise.
