Agreed.
We have an extremely open system.
What we do not pay enough attention to is, China has a very closed system. The opposite of ours.
While we are flooded with imports (mostly from China, which hires zero Americans making any of it) China is filled with domestic goods.
China makes stuff sold here.
And China makes stuff sold in China.

Gee being pro American and wanting to retaliate against unfair trade practices is unpatriotic, but supporting communist regimes via bone me up < deleted > trade is patriotic.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
Freedom is slavery.

Hey, let's go get ourselves a Chinese beer and discuss how much the UAW has helped America be great......while smugly suggesting a VAT (even more taxes) will mystically help us be greater......
heh heh heh.....

At least UAW wages stay in the country.
Partly correct: Many parts are manufactured in, or are completely assembled in Canada.

I am glad the free traitors don’t have free reign over Free Republic anymore. It is heartening that the ones pinning Lady America to the floor while every country rapes her are getting flak......

Look the alternative to Union labor is not foreign labor.
That is just as bad. Worse even.
The alternative is other American labor.
To: Lakeshark
What percent of manufacturing is done in the USA by union labor? Do you know?

As a general rule, corporations should be able to build plants where they want, whether its in America or elsewhere.BS. By transferring our industry and manufacturing to Red China Free Traitors have absolutely ruined this country. Even with high taxes, over regulation, and corrupt unions we had prosperity and those things could have been dealt with. But without plentiful, high paying, wealth creating jobs this country is finished. The people that deliberately did this to us need to be put on trial and punished.

China makes stuff sold here.
And China makes stuff sold in China.
And most of it is junk!

Yes.
That's not the point.
They have power beyond their actual output. Way beyond what they should. That's why they invested so heavily in Bambi.
That's why they are so readily protected and rewarded by this "fair trade" anti-free trade administration. They put him in power, he keeps them in power. It's the Chicago Way.
But I guess you forgot that.......

How do you think they got Boeing to stop their new plant from going forward?
Man, you are dense.

Had they not subcontracted production, sales would have evaporated. The companies would have died.
You don’t understand that the forces you deem as Free Trade are actually competition. If you chose not to compete, you end up not playing.
The American total dominance after WW II was anomaly, not normality.

Well do you know what the stats are? What the percent of manufacturing done by unionized workers?

Yes I do, like I said that's not the point.
Why do you think Boeing wasn't allowed to build a plant in a non union state? I notice you didn't answer that one.
And here I thought you were actually interested in non union jobs.......

Ok, since you know, what percent of manufacturing is done by unionized workers in the USA?
In better times what happened in South Carolina and Boeing would have started secession and possibly Civil War II. These are not better times.

Giving taxpayer money to GM to open plants in China is not anything remotely related to “free trade” - it is government-sanctioned theft. It is a betrayal of not only taxpayers but of American union workers, who although they have no natural right to employment, have a right not to have their own government screw them.

In better times the Labor board would not have had the power to do what they did.
How did they get that power?
