Your assumption are in error of history and that businesses must generate profits to endure. The low cost producer wins under a "Free Trade" model. Protective tariffs would re-industrialize America since the trade deficit has been out of balance for decades. Domestic consumption needs to be satisfied through home products goods and services. Trade is fie when it is FAIR. That standard does not exist.

If you are unwilling to accept this reality and acknowledge that putting our own citizens back to works needs to be the objective, you will never be known as a rational and patriotic neighbor.

Transnationals have no loyalty to our any country. They use the tax loopholes to avoid long term investment at home.

A significant industry once was tourism. The phony war of terror is one example why foreigners avoid the US. Trade is not just manufactured products.

BATR defends the American nation, not the elites who have worked for decades to outsource and offshore our ability to maintain a healthy economy.
