No. The geniuses who hamstring wealth-creation in America with over-regulation, massive legal vulnerability and crushing taxation - those are the ones who have put industry into a death spiral.
Free trade (on the other hand) is the only thing keeping Americans’ heads above water.
Socialists like you want to stop people trading with whomsoever they wish, and force us all to buy garbarge from featherbedded domestic manufacturers. No thanks!
And another question: What job now done by Americans cannot be done more cheaply in China? Should all jobs which can be done more cheaply in China be done there? If so, what jobs can still be done better or more cheaply here, not just now but in the foreseeable future? You don't think there is "big govt." in China?
A conservative deals with empirical facts, not with abstract ideal theories, bozo.
I'm all for slashing taxes and regulations, but nothing can change the fact that over a billion hungry Chinese will work for far less than any American.
Another question, agitprop: Have you ever worked in industry or manufacturing? Just what experience do you have in the real world?
Doesn't it ever disturb you just a little bit than great conservatives /s like George Bush and Mitt Romney are great enthusiasts for "free trade," just as they are for open borders? The bipartisan statist elites are all for this stuff.
