@eviljdog Im a job creator....I own a small bicycle business and guess what ...My business is registered as a Corporation and i employ 4 people...maybe not as many as larger companies but im a corporate job providor nonetheless so you cant generalize Corporations to only the Rich!

@continuityofliberty nothing wrong with free trade...as long as there is a free market like ron paul is preaching

[resireg]

@continuityofliberty Well, I think George W Bush did not do anythink to stop the outsourcing of jobs as well.

Lmao, I just posted this to my Facebook. Now I remember why I love Rand Paul so much. "Pass this bill NOW." Hilarious. Obama has so much comedic potential, if only the media was more willing to make fun of him.

@Cyrus255 The last thing we need is more corporatism. Tariffs are corporatism. Almost everyone is screwed save for the domestic manufacturers. This is the kind of nonsense that was resorted to back in the 30's with Smoot-Harley legislation. It made things far worse.

Taxes and regulations are part of the problem. Other reasons include a low savings rate resultant from the Fed's artificially low interest rates. Where is the credit for capital investment to come if no savings?

@Cyrus255 What you are arguing is for some domestic producers to benefit at everyone else's expense. It's contrary to freedom of contract and trade. It's just mercantilism--a bad idea that rears its ugle head again and again.

The reason that there isn't so-called full employment is because fo government central planning efforts. We don't have sound money, a sane tax code, too much corporatism (a type of central planning), too much regulation, minimum wage, and so on.

@Cyrus255 Also, look at it this way: if I want to trade with you, should a third-party say that we couldnt'.

What if there were ten of us who produce a product that wanted to trade with you and nine other people who produced a different product. Should someone tell us we can't?

Take it further: if a thousand of us wanted to trade a product we produced with a thousand foreigners who worked at a factory to make a product, should anyone tell us we can't?

@Cyrus255 Free trade simply means that people can trade without state restrictions.

If I trade you a $200 for a Blackberry phone, then, by definition, I value the Blackberry more than the $200. Conversely, you value the $200 more than the Blackberry else you wouldn't have made the exchange.

There are comparative advantages to trade. The more trade the better because different countries can produce certain things more efficiently than others and vice-versa.

@joepeeler34 There is no such thing as free trade. In all trade there are winners and losers. The problem is America has been happy to accept losing.

SOME trade is win-win when you have full employment and it frees up labor for other jobs, but at this point we need more employment and we over-consume (trade deficit). Solution? tariffs lower foreign good consumption and raise domestic production. That's EXACTLY what we need.

Lower tax rates in exchange for a tariff: double win!
