"My position is to stop the Government intervention into the market that caused this crap in the first place."

You're talking of course about the lowering of the trade tariffs in the 1960's. That was the government intervention that caused this.

Raising the import tariffs by 10% would fund a $1500 per worker individual income tax cut. Of course you could use the funds to cut corporate taxes if you prefer. That would be a lot more money in American citizens hands to spend in the local economy.

Thanks to the lowered tariff, we now tax domestic producers much higher than we tax foreign producers. Talk about your "hostile environments".

hahah of course I notice you gloss over the huge uptick in GPA after such happened and the fact that Government descended on manufacturing with more and more EPA and health and safety regs and more and more compliance red tape and the unions demanded more and more beneifts like huge retirement packages and Health insurance and the Big Three car manufacturers pooh poohed the idea that they were in the car making business but instead in the "money making" business.

You are akin to the geniuses during the polio scare who claimed polio was caused by Ice Cream because the cases reported increased significantly during the summer months when more Ice Cream was sold.

Oh and BTW that very sentiment you posted is straight out of the Union propaganda playbook!
