Because you paid for what they made, "you" being general

I have a product, I provide it, you buy it. That's my money now

We're not talking about the black market here.

No, we're talking about the most basic level of trade

I sell you thing for money, I use % of money to produce more of thing as efficiently as I can

The government dips into both ends to pay for security and services

I'm not interested in talking about trade in the lolbertarian state of nature.

That's how trade just works my dude, it's not libertarian magic

This is why you don't understand why people are outsourcing lol

No, trade in the real world that isn't for drugs and stolen property involves legal principles.

Such as?

People are outsourcing because we allow them to.

Such as all legal trade.

"What legal principles"
"All legal trade"
???

?

Tbh it sounds to me like you're not terribly for the principles America was built on, lad

America wasn't built on anarchy.

America was built on limited government power

How it outsourcing unprincipled?

*is

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!

How to fix regulation. More regulation! <:timcat:463067464016855040>

The poverty of shithole countries is an artificial market factor created by globalist trade policy.
