They don't owe me a job, I don't owe them a lower tax rate.

They're inconsequential to the larger picture.

Is that how we won WW2?
But it's exactly why we can't win all the other wars you put the US
in.

You have exactly what you wanted, free trade.
Now you make the argument that their isn't enough taxes on imported
goods?
You want things both ways, all ways, no ways, and then reformed ways.
But all you could think about during 8 years of Bush Jr. and 12 years
of a Republican Congress was.... war, security, para-military, police,
secrecy, eves dropping, intelligence gathering, etc. etc. etc.

You offer no answers to this.
You most certainly can fix it, you tax them into the poor house if
they don't police themselves.
Plenty other people just waiting to take their jobs at reduced
compensation.

Well let's put it this way then; when others of your party do, you say
nothing.
You are guilty by way of association.
