"Why should an American worker get $25 an hour when someone in another country will do the same work for $6?"
Because we as a country have decided to socialize the cost of keeping our living environment healthy and our old and infirm from dying in the streets. Import tariffs prevent hellholes, whose rulers care nothing about their environment or their people, from undercutting our manufacturers and eventually and inevitably putting them out of business. Free trade is a nation killer.

I’m on the right side. Fact is, at the end of the day, the US IS just another country now. That’s the problem. We are not the country we were, nor the culture we were back in the 40’s when we saved the world. I don’t like it any more than anybody else, but it’s just the way it is.
