I guess the Chinese are idiots for essentially doing the same thing by devaluating their currency to boost imports and protect their industries. They protect their industries and have overtaken the U.S. as a manufacturing powerhouse? Please give me another free-traitor rant that explains otherwise.
You mean “to boost their EXPORTS” ?
Why, yes I did. To much holiday drinking I suppose.
High corporate taxes and excessive regulation and environmentalism cause American manufacturers to have to pass those costs to the consumer or their business partners. Chinese manufacturers don't have these high costs, therefore consumers and downstream businesses prefer the lower prices of the Chinese driving American manufacturers out of business. Shrieking idiots such as yourself say "we need tariffs!" instead of addressing the root of the problem which is high taxes and excessive regulation. High tariffs would just add more cost to American products driving even more manufacturers out of business. It's you commies, posing as protectionists, as dragnet2 admitted earlier on this thread he is in fact an anticapitalist, that are the traitors.
We call commies posing as environmentalists "watermelons". We need a name for commies and anticapitalists posing as protectionists.
