Trump's backward-looking trade strategy threatens America's future, experts say

2. Opportunist or capitalist?

The mantra for capitalism remains "buy low, sell high."

If there is a way to produce a product for less, that is where the money goes.

"Globalization" has shown that in the long run, it's kind of a wash to buy Apple products made in China at a labor discount, or making them here for a limited market where higher and higher wages will be necessary to buy the product produced here. It's a zero sum gain. It's a bullshit political ploy.

The benefit of "globalization" is the natural progression from exploited peasant class to working class to middle class, and the political power and democratic urge that results in the order of things. There is a leveling out.

We couldn't match the quality and price of Japanese autos? Now, our labor costs are the same if not better than in Japan, we make those cars HERE now!

The Dotard wants to impose government regualtion on these forces? I believe THIS is when the R's take notice.
