it's my job to lookout for fellow ...countrymen. And I thought you were unemployable. BTW, who gave you that job and who gave them the authority to hire you? country comes first, even above economy. Wrong. Liberty comes first. If "country" came first, we'd still be part of the British Empire. free trade should serve man, man should not bow to free trade. Agreed. (Boy, that felt odd.) How you get from there to proposing all sorts of barriers to free trade is beyond comprehension, though. Once again, you are falling for the "false dilemma" trick. It is not a choice between either bowing to the WTO or throwing up all sorts of tariffs and other barriers in the name of "America first, second and third". One can favor removing barriers to trade without advocating "bowing" to the WTO.
