so basically is he saying that non americans do not have the right to make money ie pursue happiness. does the constitution not state that that is an inalienable right, tell me what is so constitutional about exporting poverty and unemployment internationally and forcing americans to pay a higher price for goods? speciffially?

Ah the classical liberals always care about the poor people and that is exactly they are against the concepts of nation-states, protectionism, and immigration restrictionism. Adam Smith, John Locke, and Thomas Jefferson were very intelligent men. I will expand more in later vids

I love his Populism

[citizenkong]

Yeah. . . the good kind of populism. . . not crazy right wing populism like Huey Long or Huckabee.

[TheAmericanPopulist]

Huckabee is crazy indeed

My favorite President is John Adams

[westernciviliznation]

Yep. He is a corporation. And he runs your Government. POLITICIANS ARE CORPORATIONS... pick any politician straw name, at sometime- he's been bought and sold on Dun & Bradstreet.

Coercive trade barriers are criminal, and people that solicit/aid and abet/initiate them should be charged as such.

Wow, a Democrap for US sovereignty. Too bad he panders too much to the crowd.

This is probably the best solution I have heard about limited protectionism but also still being able to trade.

I just wish that WTO would dump the free trade idea and adopt this idea. I tell you what, I'm on board!

Savage...China has a RIGHT as an independent NATION, to be protectionist and we should not whine about it, as that is how we as an infant NATION built the Arsenal of Democracy...but...Protectionis­m with tariffs is inefficient, and not necessary...A law in all nations, that requires corporations to Make it here, to sell it here..with at least 50% component parts...would develop the world, increase exponentially the wealth of all lands..and restore America to vitality - trade in products is waste.

[northmeister]

JME...in other words, Trade is waste - it wastes fuel (we need for other things, all those goods produced by enslaved Chinese or underpayed persons, are still transported on large bulky ships consuming precious oil supplies)..anyway..trade is good for: Ideas, Inventions, Discoveries, Franchises (the toyotas, sonys etc. owned by nationals of a nation - which then send back 10-30% of profits to the mother corporation), and natural resources - here it should be free and open - in none else.

[northmeister]

Wow....Slave labor is simple...a man or woman is not making enough to pursue his happiness (Pursuit of Happiness) in whatever form that is...A living wage allows a person to support his family, save at least ten percent of his income, have transportation, a home, spending money for wants - in addition to paying his share of taxes to balance the money supply out or as it exists now to pay for healthcare, defense, infrastructure, education, and information (libraries, media) free n open to all.

What? Color of skin or national identitiy? Are you livin' in reality? Really, I'm concerned. Your idealogy has blinded you I think. First - my principle is simple, rooted in Hamilton's ideas, which were Clays, which became Lincoln's, T.R's, and then FDR's - that is MAKE IT HERE TO SELL IT HERE, MAKE IT THERE TO SELL IT THERE - its that simple. I firmly believe that the children of a nation have a right to inherit their prosperity - that applies to all nations, and nations prevent global tyranny
