Decomp,

I have NEVER understood why 'We' have bestowed 'most favored nation' to communist China.
A country that finds little value with females & allows one child per family. While I understand they are crowded, their policy goes against American values.

Meanwhile, until recently, our neighbor, Cuba is treated like a cancer. That's just false pride on our part.

I'd like to see high tariffs imposed. China's work condition are sooo horrible in parts, laborers attempt suicide, and some companies have installed nets to break their fall...

Unfortunately, most politicians on both sides don't want to get into a trade war with China, they hold a big chunk of our debt, as you know, so we are beholding...
BS, IMO, they have MORE to lose, if they want to be repaid.

clo,

re: "You continue to err with regard to where I stand"

It would be helpful if you were to say where I err... and where you actually stand if it's not where I'm saying.

Merely stating AGAIN that you don't shop at Wal-mart doesn't cut it. Not when I've just noted that Wal-mart isn't the problem. Federal policies that allow China to compete unfairly (meaning, they don't have the hurdles that American businesses have) are the problem. Wal-mart is selling these Chinese goods, and THAT is the reason you're blaming it for dooming Ameircan small busineses.

The playing field needs to be leveled. The Federal government must impose tariffs against Chinese goods sold here to make the price of their goods comparable to what goods made in the U.S. sell for. It also needs to decrease the regulatory barriers that make it so difficult for American businesses to compete.

BLAME THE GOVERNMENT, not the opportunists. If Wal-mart weren't the primary American beneficiary of the advantages China has here, some other company would be.
