Like the liberal Bill Gates, yes. Just because he's a liberal doesn't mean we give up our conservatism to get even with him. Just don't pass his liberal BS.
There lies the rub, rape trade and gloBULLism are not conservative. You are the liberal and Marx would agree
But, in general, the protective system of our day is conservative, while the free trade system is destructive. It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point. In a word, the free trade system hastens the social revolution. It is in this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, that I vote in favor of free trade.
What they did was export millions of American jobs overseas to cheap labor land, while flooding the U.S. with low wage labor. Some of us saw what this was going to do to Middle America. All while the greedy SOBs running the corporations prodded and bribed the corrupt in D.C. to pass punitive tax and environmental laws to kill off any competition left in the U.S. Little folks could no way in hell compete in the USA. They all knew this.
Middle America got economically gang banged, while those in in D.C. and their well connected fatcorps and Wall Street insiders made enormous historic profits. This is no secret.
At this level of corruption, brought to us by backdoor D.C. country killing corrupt policies, the results were easily predicable.
