Tariffs were very strong American worker wage protection, HENCE corporations hate tariffs.

34. I see you've thrown in the towel

By trotting out the same old Pew chart which I've called you out on about 12 times already on this website. When all else fails in your attempt to pimp US Chamber of Commerce job-killing free trade propaganda, try to make it appear as if those opposed to today's job-killing free trade deals are no different than Tea Party Republicans.

But, yet again, what you always conveniently fail to highlight is that it was the Tea Party Republicans themselves who have been instrumental in passing the job-killing free trade deals in the first place. And it's been the Democrats who have been trying to stop them:

Job-Killing Trade Deals Pass Congress Amidst Record Democratic Opposition

...

Given the strong Democratic opposition, ultimately it was the Tea Party GOP freshmen who passed these job-killing deals (Bush and Obama's brokered KORUS, Panama and Colombian deals) despite their campaign commitments at home to stand up for Main Street businesses, against more job offshoring and for Buy American requirements.

"Democrats favor stronger relations with China. Republicans favor getting tougher with China. Getting tougher with China may not be the liberal policy you think it is."

Actually it is, as is opposing today's "free trade" agreements:

Since it was Tea Party Republicans who helped pass the latest free trade deals, and since it were Democrats who've been opposed to the deals being passed, it appears as though you have a lot more in common with the Tea Party -- and lot less common in common with liberals and Democrats -- than you let on.
