True but shouldn’t the better question be why can’t we compete with other 1st world countries when it comes to trade.

It’s a rhetorical question though, production costs in Korea are the same as here, free trade should work great with them but it’s our OWN crushing regulatory burden that’s screwing this up. We should get rid of the burdensome regulations imposed on our own businesses before taxing foreign companies that are playing by the rules but don’t have to deal with that c**p.

We can’t compete when our own government is ashamed of being American and thinks we owe it to the world to bend over

These deals are not made to enrich and strengthen America, they are made to transfer wealth

And it’s getting worse and worse with the global climate meisters preparing tthe rape of America

You are correct that burdensome regulations imposed on our own businesses (Manufacturing) need to be axed. EPA, OSHA, Dept of Justice, etc ... these are bureaucracy's that swell the size of gov't and do nothing for what they were supposedly intended to do.

It is time to stop the intentional killing of our own businesses. Eliminate, trim power, or what ever else is necessary. Helps business, therefore the economy, and is a step toward reducing the size of gov't.

That all being said, none of our 'trading partners' are playing by the rules.
