Except Trump talks about this in literally everyone of his rallies.

Trump has stuff made in China because it's economically unfeasible to have things made in America in today's age. This is why he wants to change the system.

Trump would probably do the same thing. They are just making decisions that at the end of the day, we the public have made them chose because our what we demand. We demand the cheapest of products, we live out of sight out of mind, and we are innately selfish when push comes to shove. We have to take ownership as citizens that what we demand individually is what companies are going to try to give us. If we only care about price, then companies are only going to care about price. The ironic thing is that we as citizens have been so focused on ourselves and our demand for low prices so we can have more that companies are willing to leave the country just so we can have more for less. Our values and a society has to change before any company like this changes. They are just responding to what the people want.

Why would we want to keep a company in America that bails on its own people in order to save itself? Isn't that kind of like a captain of a ship bailing? Aren't captains supposed to go down with the ship after trying everything they can to save their passengers?

Are you retarded? If you're getting undercut by foreign companies you either have to adapt or you'll go bankrupt. Freetrade makes it impossible to compete with third world workers

Welcome to Capitalism meets Globalization why would i pay an american a decent wage when i can find poor people in other countries willing to work for almost nothing . Meanwhile the CEO of most car companies make 300% more than their regular employee Greed at it's finest . I for one boycott bullshit corporations and if everyone would do the same these corporations couldn't survive . I haven't bought anything from Disney or Nike in over 20 years i always try to buy stuff made in my own country .

This is why free trade doesn't benefit the United States and we need to go back to using tariffs

NAFTA started it. TPP was just like the needle that broke the haystack. And everyone said the protests for NAFTA were silly. It was only a matter of time.

It's not free trade, it's just sourcing labor to slaves in countries that pretend they are not slaves. Oh we pay them.......12 cents an hour.

This is why globalism is garbage for everyone except the ones on top. Why would a company pay Americans $20 per hour to make things when they can pay Mexicans $5 per hour?

So what was our system before WWI when over 50% of tax revenues came from tariffs? Was that socialist?
