In a free trade world there will be those who live behind gated walls and benefit and most who do not and live in squalor. I suppose you represent the gated walls, "let them eat cake" viewpoint.

Twenty years from now China will begin an arms race with the US and win. Twenty years from now American carrier pilots will be slaughtered in a one sided turkey shoot just as the Syrians were over the Bekaa by superior Chinese high tech.

But, hey, if the free market says we should transfer all our high tech to China then it must be right. Right ?

This is what I mean by many of the protectionist paleos being Marxist. Support of tariffs is not Marxist per se, but statements such as the one above most definitely are. That reads like something straight out of The Communist Manifesto.
