I’ll have to dig up

You mean pull it out of your ass. It's all fantasy.

car manufacturers 2-3000$ per car

You'd have us believe that the cost of a Ford Focus went down $3000/car and they have reduced the price on the lot? Come on. They moved because Paco would work for $3/hr.

Do high tariffs protect manufacturing jobs?

Explain yourself coherent rationale and evidence.

When did GB free enterprise go offshore and government lower tariffs, and how did that destroy the jobs of millions of Brittons and made them ripe for socialism?

Ok, so we agree then that tariffs can and do protect American jobs but they can cause inflation. Then we can also agree that lowering tarffs has the opposite effect?

If we can agree on this then we can have an intelligent discussion on the subject.

This the starting point and not the end of the discussion.

No, don’t refer me to some link. YOU explain in your own words when GB free enterprise went offshore and government lower tariffs, and how did that destroy the jobs of millions of Brittons and made them ripe for socialism.

It’s your argument. Back it up with coherent rationale and evidence.

It’s a complex subject. I sent you a link. If you want to remain ignorant then it is your choice. You are acting like a child. Read the link and we can discuss. Act like an adult.

It’s your argument. Agrue in your own words or don’t bring it up.

First you use GB as an example of the failure of the free market even though GB is hopelessly socialist. Then you go into GB’s history as an example of the failure of the free market but don’t want to explain and rationalize your agruement.

Reason? You CAN’T.

The only thing to be learned here its you people are full of sh#t and a waste of time.

You don’t make a coherent, supportable argument to support your phony GB example against the free market because you CAN’T.

Instead you use Leftist tactics of lies, deflection, ad hominem, and phony labels.

You people are a waste of time.

I am not going to spoon fed you information. You don’t want to know anything that goes against your free trade religion. And it is a religion.

YOU made the assertion. YOU rationalize to support your assertion. I’m not going to do your work for you. If you’re not going to back up your assertions then shut up. Sending a link is a great way of avoid having to explain your argument.

You can’t do it. I already knew that.

Shut up and quit wasting my time. You are what Stalin called, a Leftist “useful idiot.” You probably have not clue why.

Go away.

You are truly an idiot if you think Marxism is about the free market. Marixism is synonymous with socialism - what you love.

Not going to keep this up with you. You’re amazingly stupid, can’t support your assertions, and are an absolute waste of time.

Bye.

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.

Are you invested in any companies located in Communist China? If you’d rather not say, that’s fine too.

Off point and irrelevant

No, it's a legitimate question. We're talking about reckless looting trade policies here. You possibly being invested in companies off shore while they economically gang bang U.S. tax payers is very pertinent.

But I fully understand why you'd evade the question.

You must really hate Trump.☺

I know you like Leftist argument methodology, but ad hominem is a logical fallacy, off point, and supports nothing.

Get off my channel - you are a waste of my time.
