You are free to conduct business in any way INSIDE conus. None of my business at all. If factory A wants to move to state B, so be it. The second you go over seas for anything, labor, materials etc. IT BECOMES MY BUSINESS. The factory you close will impose a social costs you NEVER SEEM TO MENTION. It may affect national security WHICH YOU NEVER ADDRESS.

If you want to move a factory to China, then shut it down and go completely out of business. Then go to China and ask for permission to become a Chinese company, surrender your capitol to them. Give up your US citizenship and AMF.

So at what point, exactly, does my company become part of your “collective?” [snort]

[central_va]

Is that what you big government "conservatives" hand out?

Wait it is the gloBULList that wants a huge flat one world economic zone, nothing bigger than that.

[central_va]

So at what point, exactly, does my company become part of your “collective?”

When you do business overseas. It is and should be heavily regulated and taxed. Contrary to business conducted inside the US which should be totally unregulated and untaxed.

One world economic zone? Sounds like something you big government guys could get behind.

Ok, so just recently, I bought a leather holster. Hand-sewn in the State of Georgia. But the leather came from Argentina. Are these folks the traitors of whom you speak?

[central_va]

Not a leather expert, but last time I checked we had a huge cattle industry in the USA. So why are the holster people importing leather? Good question. But nobody at Commerce is looking into it, I’m sure.

[1rudeboy]

No the question is, why do you care about the leather in my holster?

[Toddsterpatriot]

GloBULList!

[central_va]

No the question is, why do you care about the leather in my holster?

Because as an American I want to promote leather tanning in the USA. Somebody should look in to it. Does Argentina impose tariffs on US products? What was the reason for the holster co to seek Argentinian leather in the first place? Maybe their cows are special. I don't care, but somebody should care. Borders have meaning.

lol.

Could be. You pay this monthly, for this many months or we get the house. lol

[1rudeboy]

I swear, everywhere I turn some bureaucrat is trying to micromanage my life . . . so I seek refuge at FR, where some try to do the same. Go figure.

[central_va]

Everywhere I turn a Free Traitor is selling out the USA to a communist or turd world dictator.

[1rudeboy]

Because as an American I want to promote leather tanning in the USA.

And always, the unstated protectionist doctrine, which adds "by making holsters more expensive."

[1rudeboy]

Have you considered getting the government to help? Uncle Sugar is there for ya’, buddy.

[Toddsterpatriot]

There’s just too much freedom going on around here, isn’t there?

[central_va]

And always, the unstated protectionist doctrine, which adds "by making holsters more expensive."

You either believe in sovereign states or a flat borderless world. One or the other.

Like I said with almost a billion Chinamen slaves at our disposal, logically and without any thought of social or security interests, it makes no sense for any other country to manufacture anything at all, ever.

[1rudeboy]

Apart from the fact that I chose the holster because I liked it, you mean? And I apparently favored it over this mythical Chinese leather powerhouse of manufacturing?

[expat_panama]

Whoa-— BEAV is up again today, I never knew selling military aircraft parts to the Red Chinese could be SO MUCH FUN!!!!

[Partisan Gunslinger]

No income tax? What did you say about wanting to crap gold bricks? lol
