Reply #90: Why on earth are you scared of alternatives

[K-W]

when the current system was specially designed to screw you?

We wouldnt be adding tarrifs, stop drinking the economic kool-aid. We have tariffs, we have customs, we control our borders. There was a time when only white men voted. Back then they didnt mind so much that the government controlled the economy. The government is supposed to control the countries resource flow. The government is supposed to make sure our trade is benefitting us. None of this is weird or radical.

All we have to do to stop them from outsourcing production is make them pay for it when they come back. There is nothing in the slightest bit wrong or weird with a government telling people that if they want to take jobs elsewhere theyve got to pay us to sell the products here and that is exactly what we should do.

And yes, I do expect other countries to follow, and good. Until we have setup a legitimate governing system for a global society we should avoid throwing barriers down just because our corporations have made it seem natural.
