we need to KEEP Manufacturing HERE and not some far off land

Those items from far off lands need a strong tariff coming into OUR country

The nationalism is nice, but the economics just don't work that way: a Korean investor isn't going to hire the UAW to manufacture cars and pay taxes in Detroit. Capital flows toward Return on Investment. You tax something, you get less of it.

He won’t pay the UAW and the taxes in Detroit. He’ll build his plants in Georgia and Alabama and give the people in those areas great jobs and improve the quality of life in the whole area.

Head down to the KIA plant in West Point, Ga. It’s amazing. And a once downtrodden place is seeing new life. Or take a trip to the Montgomery area to see the Hyundai plant. Or how about the BMW plant in Greer, SC.

Not if there are capital controls. This idea that economic traitor companies built by Americans, nourished by the hard work and good character of American labor and only possible in a country with intellectual freedom and prosperity which are a legacy left in trust by our forefathers for US, the American people, should be permitted to just up and transfer all of that wealth and know-how to our economic enemies needs to be put to rest.

These globalist businessmen aren't heroes of liberty, they're disloyal traitors with no love for America or the Constitution.

They're as admirable as Alger Hiss and for the same reason.
