Why Jim Robinson allows you and others to push a Marxist free trade agenda is beyond my pay grade.

I'm pushing Austrian Economics. I can't control the nonsense that flowed from Marx and Engels. And if Jim Robinson thinks that I'm out of line quoting Milton Friedman, Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises then he can kick me off this forum anytime he likes.

What you are saying is that only one opinion is allowed here on what is supposed to be a DISCUSSION FORUM.

Trump and Bernie Sander are wrong about Tariffs and Trade. That needs to be communicated to Freepers. People who disagree should stop yelling and present their rational arguments in favor of adding a new tax on the American people as both Trump and Sanders want to do.

The benefits of protectionism:

1. repatriation of industry
2. general increase in economic activity
3. decreasing or no trade deficits
4. balanced Federal budgets
5. higher levels of baseline employment
6. less social stress
7. less political will for socialism
8. increased national security
9. raising interest rate will not crater the economy.

Here are 9 benefits of protectionism, refute them one at a time.

Make sure while you are "educating" freepers about the 'evils' of protectionism you make sure to tell them all the founding fathers, including George Washington, were 'evil' protectionist too.
