It seems to me that the regulations you mention are the real problem, and not the doing of that work by others. If regulations in the USA make it harder and more expensive for that work to be done here, then isn't it a good thing when it still gets done more easily and cheaply elsewhere?
But I'm still not sure you're talking about something real. You were ostensibly answering my question about us suffering a problem that resulted from too many people in other countries having jobs. But you didn't mention anything that supports the conclusion that we did.
Exactly.
Lincoln was the final seal on the Hamiltonian coup- the CONstitution- to take over the federation & create a strong central ruling government.
The Anti-Federalists were right & the Federation was really the only true vestige of freedom that happened to the colonies.

The trouble is that your property, your Private Property will be decreed "racist" somehow, and taken to be given freely to Invisible Man, fully at your expense. Including your ammo. Since he obviously supports Leftist Ideologies, he is "entitled" to EVERYTHING you own, including your LIFE.
If you expect them to not bother you, you might get your wish. Going along with the idea they "leave you alone" by avoiding direct conflict, they will attack you in other means. Revoke your business license. Prohibit you from working. Prohibit you from buying food, travel, or even paying bills. They will lock you in your home and "leave you alone" and prohibit you have any meaningful interaction with anyone else ever again.

The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

Take China for instance; they do not have to follow any rules about pollution and or inhumane slave labor. Do find it okay, to allow China to get the jobs that Americans were doing because they do not have to follow the rules that the global elites demand we have?
Were you not paying attention to what happen when this insidious Covid-19 hit this country and China was the biggest manufacturer of PPE's? They told President Trump if he continues to blame China for the virus they would stop sending PPE to us.
If we had a level playing field it would be great, but we don't. That is exactly what President Trump was trying to create. Of course the globalists don't want that because they do not want America to be independent, self-sufficient and self-reliant. They want to take out America because we are the last bastion of what resembles a free market.

That's better than if they had the same regulations imposed on them. At least now there's somewhere we can go to escape them.
I fail to see how that's a bad thing.
Then, if that happened, they'd be manufactured somewhere else to meet the demand. It would be more expensive. But being able to get them cheaply for a little while would be better than not at all, and having to settle for that more expensive option all along.
It doesn't matter if we have a level playing field or not. Trump's trade war with China only hurt us. It didn't help us. The prospect of ending or lessening the impacts of that trade war after Trump's gone is a good thing, not bad.
Let me try one...
In response to the question quoted, more jobs overseas is bad when they are YOUR jobs, and / or Slave Labor. Not all overseas jobs are bad. Not all are good either.
Its just the way you come across sounds a LOT like ZippyJuan, and he is Permabanned.
Lets see, since my opinion is not fully established on you. How do you feel about Fiat Currency? Does the USA operate and maintain an Honest Money System? Is interest on Fiat Currency fair or honest? Is there any issue with unlimited currency printing? Please be relatively specific...

If you see anything leftist in my saying that, then you need a realignment.
You sound like you advocate the economic policies of Elizabeth Warren.
To answer your questions: I am against government regulation of currency. I advocate free market banking and currency. If currency that is not backed by a commodity can survive in a free market without legal tender laws or other regulations favoring it, then I see no reason to ban it. The USA does not operate and maintain an honest money system. The question of whether or not interest on fiat currency is fair or honest is a function of whether or not people voluntarily enter contracts with each other to borrow and lend fiat currency with interest, and do so without defrauding one another. Unlimited currency printing devalues the currency.

The regulations imposed to the Chinese people are far worse--inhumane and barbaric. I do not support cheap Chinese goods that are produced that way.
Hmm...you failed to see that people can stop producing things because they do not like the truth to come out?
Yes, President Trump got the job done.
So you think American's should pay more in trade than other countries? America has been taken advantage of for far too long. President Trump corrected that.

By all means, refrain from buying them then. And if you can convince other consumers to join you in that without government involvement, then more power to you. But there's no question that their availability is a boon to our economy.
If American consumers choose to do that, then yes, of course. Their ability to buy more dollars' worth of goods from the people of other countries than what they sell to them should not be interfered with by the government. Any attempt by the government to regulate that can only harm us.

I do not suffer from Trump Rearrangement Syndrome. Sorry if that triggers you.
It's amazing to see how many think they're not in The Matrix, yet totally believe all it tells them.
Government has NO business being in BUSINESS- and especially telling any American- or other countries- what they can or cannot do. REAL capitalism works beautifully. Falling for crony "capitalism" seems to be todays norm.

Again. The rest of the world can be happier than pigs in $#@!. I wish prosperity on everyone. You continue to infer from Oyarde's comment something that was not implied. Do you want others to be successful at the expense of your neighbors? Do you not realize WHY Trump was elected in the first place?

Im not sure if I should ask this or not, as it may not be a good idea. I would like to see "better" posts that show your stance. Now, Im not sure if requesting "better" posts is really a good idea because I dont want people coming after you if your views arent inline with theirs.
At this point, not sure if it matters...

With the saturation of Chinese made goods, one is hard pressed to buy American or even from other countries. Africa is another country where slave tactics are implemented by large corporations like DeBeers and Nestle. So Big Government and Big Corporations are certainly no even close to fair and equitable trade.
For the most part, I buy local and stay local in my protest. So I do practice what I preach, and even make my own products from scratch as well. I am currently making castile soap right now.
I believe I answered this above in my summary.

I'm not sure what specifically you're asking for. If you have particular questions, like the ones you asked, I can take stabs at answering them, like I did those.
More generally, for simplicity's sake my view on trade is the same as Ron Paul's as far as I can tell. And he's written and said a lot on the subject.
Here's one apropos fairly recent article where he addresses the canard of whether or not a level playing field should make any difference.
http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/arch...al-free-trade/
Here's another where he directly criticizes Trump's trade wars.
http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/arch...ot-the-answer/
For more in depth defenses and explanations of the same basic position, I'm certain that you can find a number of good articles at mises.org, fff.org, independent.org, aier.org, econlib.org, and other solid libertarian/free market websites that are committed to the same essential policy positions that this website is according to its official site mission. Those sites and the authors who contribute to them used to be highly respected sources here, before Breitbart, et al, took their place.
Nothing I've said on this subject should appear at all strange here. In 2008 and 2012, the views I'm taking, at which you and others take umbrage, were pretty much taken for granted here. And it was those who differed who found themselves on the defensive.
If it was the topic of free banking that you wanted a better explanation of, good information can be found at some of those same sites.
Nobody has to agree with Ron Paul on everything. I get that. But when his views get ridiculed here as if they don't belong or are the ramblings of a troll, something is fishy.

LOL...all you $#@!ers are racist devils and white supremacist terrorists, according to the US military and US government.
In four years every one of us here will be on the lam, in jail, in a gulag, or dead.
And you $#@!s are arguing with a globalist sock puppet over trade policy of nation that is dead.
