Obama would respond: We have to think in terms of "fairness" and not our own individual needs.

OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST!!!

[Indiana46278]

Yes.

"Standard of living" is not just the cash flow of a nation's investors and businessmen. I think Obama wants Fair trade, not free trade.

Are environmental and human rights protections as important as cheap electronics and plastic lawn furniture and low low prices? Is "standard of living" about consumerism, or productivity and health?

If oil prices continue up, we'll all need a crash course in domestic independence, buying local, and conserving. Hey! Maybe we'll actually be happier.

lol, this question is self explanatory. Of course you cant raise tax barriers and expect a more cooperative world trade system.

What obama wants to do is not raise tax barriers, but to provide domestic AND foreign companies that keeps jobs in America the tax Breaks that the current administration is giving away to Oil Companies.

This does not raise trade barriers because both domestic and foreign companies have an equal chance to compete for this tax break endorsement.

Possible to raise trade barriers? Advisable?

Well, that depends on a political question: Are you prepared to see the US standard of living equalize with, oh, say MEXICO?

[Turtlehands]

If the government doesn't raise taxes, or cut spending, or both.... the dollar will collapse, and then salaries will surely F-A-L-L, FALL.

I heard a good one that if Romney had been a "fighter pilot", he would have been qualified to run the economy, according to republican party standards.

[Turtlehands]

Raising taxes has usually increased salaries in the past.

The most notable is the 1990's of course!

How can you say "never" when it "usually" does?

Get your facts straight!!

[WinkenBlinkenAndNod]

Do we really need to preserve this standard of living ? It's bankrupting us as it is, time to get real about what you are buying, use cash, screw credit and stop exporting wealth for useless trinkets.

Eat better, hopefully afford a doctor, tech you kids some math and shut the fuck up.

[WinkenBlinkenAndNod]

American's will believe just about anything you tell them, so long as it is not truth.

[Gasping81]

Greatest disparity. Not really. Disparity has existed on different levels since the beginning of time. Poor just hate the rich and are envious, especially in America. Bill Gates was not a great guy until he started dishing out his cash.

When did every kid start getting a trophy for little league? Did Obama and the socialist clan pass a bill sometime ago? Probably not....too busy running for president.

[Gasping81]

Right.

Increasing taxes on businesses drives people out of the country. Then, even more of less jobs. The economy sucks because America doesn't want to play global chess. Every old fart in this country thinks of the good old times when everything was handed to them and no one could compete with us. Guess what. Times changed. Drop the RV and stop bi@ching that you're dying from cancer at 75. Your choices, your body, your fault. Not someone elses. That's FAIR or did Marx become a synonym?
