(8,994 posts)"I think you and I actually agree that S/H did not had little if anything to do with the Depression." - this is totally irrelevant to the discussion.
"I think you agree that FDR believed (erroneously in your opinion) that, regardless of the insignificant role that S/H played in causing the Depression, high tariffs would make economic recovery more difficult so he worked to lower tariffs."
And I showed you a chart that proves that FDR's beliefs were unfounded. So what are you going to believe, someone's opinion or the historical facts? The charts show S/H didn't exacerbate anything. You keep trying to get around this by screaming "But FDR SAID!!!!!!"
Your argument about this being a pluralistic world is bullshit when this "pluralistic" world means excluding American workers from the global job market. Americans are being excluded, discriminated against.
You can quote as much alternet and everything else that you want to, but you will never convince a majority of people in America to sacrifice their livelihoods for globalism. Keep on posting that shit. No one is listening anymore.
Go take it up with the UN. Nobody wants your "Sacrifice American workers for the world" propaganda here.
