I love showing Republicans up as anti freedomists and having them defend tyranny. It's so much fun!

What a joke. Exactly what have you shown us, that those Nike sneakers came down a whole bunch when they moved to Vietnam to pay workers .20 an hour? T-shirts at my local Wal-Mart made in China still cost $15.00 to 20.00, same price when they were made in the states, employing Americans.

The idea you're now getting choice is what's delusional. The only choice you're getting is what workers assembled the products, the owners of the companies are the same. Who incidentally are getting richer thanks to government sponsored "free trade" deals. What products are the Chinese or Mexicans buying from us? It's corporate welfare no matter how you want to spin it.

Who cares? I don't buy that crap anyway. If people value their money more than the sneakers they won't buy em. That's supply and demand. And it's smarter than you.

Maybe you better buy some stock in such smart comapnies and share in the profits.

Ah,, Republicans playing the liberal politics of envy game. I love it. Oh no!!! The rich got richer!!! Someone made money!!! Oh No!!!!

US? Like me and you? Hint, WE aren't in it together. I don't try to sell anything to Mexicans or Chinese. So it's none of my business.

YEP, your tarriffs are corporate welfare.
