When a person in China is my equal in the eyes of the law and we have a shared social standard, then great. <br /><br />Until then, having a tariff to counterbalance the predominant social and financial inequalities at a national level is reasonably appropriate...<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-31787147056016239382016-07-02T10:22:29.678-07:002016-07-02T10:22:29.678-07:00JK: I did not 'protect' him, he doesn'...JK: I did not 'protect' him, he doesn't need it. Nor did I choose not to publish any of your comments - if it isn't here, it didn't make it through to me. My blog gets a LOT of manipulation from Bad People, and comments not making it through to me are, sadly, far too common. Ask LT - it happens to him frequently.<br /><br />Send it, I'll post it. You aren't one of the spineless 'Anonymous' commentors who hurl gratuitously then run and hide - you don't get shut down. - KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-76208493783427452922016-07-02T09:50:41.471-07:002016-07-02T09:50:41.471-07:00"'Balanced Trade' is what we need - a..."'Balanced Trade' is what we need - a trade policy that puts our economy as a whole -"<br /><br />I'm not writing anything too serious here since K found it necessary to protect you from my last reply. I don't bother if the comments may not show. But still, in case he lets this one through, I gotta commend you...that line is really a hoot!<br /><br />Way to brighten a holiday weekend, so thanks. Maybe next week you'll tell us how after you figure out the right and balanced trade policy for the whole economy--WHOOIIEEE!!--you propose to instantiate it. Sounds like a neat trick. Do we all need it, or just some of us?<br /><br />Nothing personal, but y'all have lost your minds. It's a fine example of how justice is dished out by reality, not people.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-29245042901192925382016-07-01T13:01:26.836-07:002016-07-01T13:01:26.836-07:00"Free Trade" has always been about empow..."Free Trade" has always been about empowering corporations to maximize profits, at the expense of the labor and consumer sectors.<br />"Balanced Trade" is what we need - a trade policy that puts our economy as a whole - workers, consumers, and companies - just a bit ahead of the interests of other nations. But for that to work, our domestic economic policy must *also* be to maintain a balance between the worker, the company, and the consumer.<br />Or, in other words, a real open and competitive domestic market, <b>from end to end</b>...<i>something we haven't had in the United States since about 1930.</i><br /><br />/LTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
