Having the government heavily regulate trade, to the point of near market control, doesn't sound like a limited government to me
If you don't want companies to outsource, don't buy outsourced products
Sounds more fascist
Taxing imports is hardly micromanaging trade.
Why should we tax imports?
Banning trade is not taxing imports
Who said anything about banning trade?
For government revenue, Make.
But are we gonna tax all trade equally?
All goods aren't equally taxable.
You directly said we shouldn't trade with the "third world" and that the current setup was the result of treason lol
I mean global and domestic
I said we shoud tax imports from the third world.
So you want to slow down global trade?
For what reason?
Yes, slow down global trade and speed up domestic production.
For what reason should we slow down global trade?
He thinks the government should artificially modify market factors to fix the fact that they artificially modified market factors in the first place lol
And apparently America will just suddenly become self sufficient
LOL!
The poverty of shithole countries is an artificial market factor created by globalist trade policy.
In what way?
Trade has improved their life
The American government, as with all western governments, is already heavily interventionist. This has caused domestic production costs to go up
Look at communist china to its state now
You can see that in the cost of domestically produced products *now*
It's improved the lives of the elites in shithole countries.
No people starved in greater numbers to how they do now
So the average Chinese worker would be better off without trade?
Its not perfect but look what the market did to their quality of life
Look, I don't care about incremental improvements in shithole countries occurring at great cost to the working class in non-shithole countries.
Whoosh there go those goalposts again
Muh Chinese have jobs that Americans dont
Americans don't what?
Okay so let's bring it back to domestic issues. Stop bringing in more people if you don't have enough jobs
Yes, stop bringing them in and stop offshoring since they're both effectively the same thing.
HOLY FUCK
GERNERILIZATIONS EVERYWHERE!
The native American (meaning people born in America) population is in decline naturally
Ergo if there are more people than jobs, let there be less people and stop basing everything around constant growth
