I am in favor of free trade with the 1st world. I am in favor of less restricted trade with the third world. I am opposed to american companies using third world labor. I would tax the begeezus out of them for doing so.

If China wants to compete, let them raise capital and do so. Americans bought a ton of Nike sneakers, and gave capital to Phil Knight. He in turn took that money, fired his work staff, and moved his company's production overseas, to reship his shoes, designed by americans, back to americans.

If the Vietnam shoe company wants to sell us shoes, I have no problem with that. Phil Knight though, needs to have an attitude re-adjustment.

If he wants to move his company to Vietnam entirely, I have no problem with that. It is this crap of coming off as an american company, when they could give a rip about the people in this country that ticks me off.

Yes, I know my views are not exactly "rational", but I feel strongly that on a patriotic issue alone, we should not be doing this crap.

I am sure that the workers are genuinely thrilled by the 25 cents they make an hour. I am not.

You are more in favor of "some trade restrictions" not so much opposed to free trade. That's a different animal and not one I'm necessarily opposed to.
