No you Marxist, there is no economic sovereignty for the US if we are dependent on others to make our widgets for us. I will gladly pay more for a domestic product (if I can find one) than for an import.

WHy do you ignore history? Historically, we never were "free traders". Lincoln (founder of the GOP)said, "Thank God I am not a free trader". We fought to protect economic sovereignty. We only became free traders in the '60s under Kennedy (a liberal, lest you need reminding).

Knock yourself out if it makes you feel good. I'm not inclined to waste money like that.

Nossir. The quotes are:

• "Give me a tariff and I will give you the greatest nation on earth." -- Abraham Lincoln
• "Prosperity is the trophy of a protective tariff." -- McKinley
• "I thank God I am not a free trader." -- Teddy Roosevelt
