[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2609028, member: 24302"] First off China still has more than half a billion people in dire poverty. They need us to trade with because even though they have greatly improved their economy they're a long ways away from having an economy equal to ours. Second no one in the region wants to be dominated by China. Third all of our "free trade" isn't free. We have huge trade deficits with many countries. We don't put tariffs on products imported into the U.S. but they sure do with our products imported into their countries. We have as much right to protect our citizens as they do their's. The status quo meant American corporate leaders were getting rich off cheap labor while Americans couldn't compete with that labor. Too many of our companies go to great lengths to innovate then ship those ideas over to a factory overseas. At the same time our companies here are so over regulated, which so complicated things that it's not worth their while to even try to stay here or even create a new business. The doomsayers were saying a Trump win would cause the market to crash. Broke 20,000 instead. Business leaders are starting to believe he's serious about helping them here and the enthusiasm is growing. [/QUOTE]
