First, I am not China obsessed. We do not vote in China. If China wants to compete as one big entity, and therefore ruin any individual liberty in their country, there’s not a DAMNED THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. We just can’t. Reality sucks sometimes, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s reality.

Second, I reject your narrow defintion of “American” as being totally tied to the piece of dirt a business sits on. I’m sorry, that’s bullshit. Certainly it is part of the definition, but only part. By your definition, Solyndra is a great company. That does not pass the laugh test.

Third, creative destruction is both creative, and destructive. If you really believe in freedom and liberty, then you understand that the invisible hand of the market rewards millions you can’t pinpoint even as it temporarily hurts hundreds you can pinpoint. Yes, I realize that it takes an expansive mind, like that of Adam Smith, or Ronald Reagan, or Milton Friedman, or Thomas Sowell, or Lakeshark, or Bert, to see that. But it’s true.

Fourth, anti traders refuse to acknowledge that high tariffs are nothing more than taxation, and nothing more than central planning. In other words, applied liberalism. It was applied liberalism that drove jobs away, but applying more liberalism to “solve it” is what the Dem Party has been about for 100 years. It’s just that you happen to like this particular liberal central planning tenet because you can’t expand the mind to the bigger picture.

Why don’t you Google Milton Friedman’s “The Pencil” and get back to me.

Sorry.

“Trade” with countries which do not allow immigration, and which do not allow Americans true ownership, is not trade.

We have been scammed.

Bring back American businesses. To America.
