What we have today is not free trade.
It’s the western financial sector getting into bed with communist regimes, and financing the rope that those regimes will use to strangle us.
In the mean time, the majority of the globalist free traders are growing old, and won’t be around when the communists take over.
And, these people just don’t give a shit about you, or your country. They got theirs, and they made sure that you could never touch that. That’s all that matters to them.
There’s no politics with these people. Manipulating politicians and governments is simply a means to an end for them to achieve their goals, even to the detriment of the host nation.
He’s a globalist.
Amen, Brother.
No, #3 does not negate #1, the USW will be well aware of the mills increased earnings, at will be at the table to take a bigger bite at contract time.
Most of those on the Free Traitor side are in positions that will never be effected by either the import of cheap labor or the outsourcing of good paying jobs to countries with lower wage scales. If you began to replace those folks, with lower wage earners in their field, there opinions would change quickly.
Yep - Stossel uses a false meme and Walter uses shortsightedness by not acknowledging Trump’s adaptability. The steel/aluminum tariffs are not the end game.
That’s a serious misunderstanding of current events
We are the second largest exporter of scrap metal in the world (EU is #1) why aren’t we using it here instead of importing new steel?
Being forced to share the wealth is not the same as voluntarily sharing it as Williams implied.
You mean like Mr. Trump's recent election where he beat 16 other Free Traitors™ in the primaries like rented mules?
No, your misunderstanding of what he is actually doing
Not sure he is implying that; he’s just stating what historically happens when the mills get the benefits of tariffs put on their competitors.
I would question that is what historically happens. All corporations will want to maximize profits and minimize expense. Salaries are an expense. Tariffs don't change that.
Not all corporations are unionized, it is historical, profit goes up, maybe marginal increase in total employment, union gets a bigger bite of the apple. Oh, and lead times increase.
That is why my old company told me to go call congress for universal health care.
True. When journalists make what they purport to be “qualified” conclusions about any other field except journalism- we read total BS.
