Ron Paul will hasten the race to the bottom and totally anhilate American jobs.

Boo hoo! I guess lazy and incompetent American workers will have to compete with foreigners. How sad!

Look what he says, "Its no biggie that another countries have tariffs against the US, lets lower our tariffs to zero anyways." If you want to totally destroy the US economy, elect Libertarians.

You haven't actually shown how that will "destroy the US economy." With protectionism, the lazy and incompetent have jobs, yes, but prices also go up. Without it, prices go down, and perhaps Americans will actually work competitively rather than having the government practically forcing employers to hire retards. The worst that can happen is jobs will go down and the right man for the job (the foreigner) will get it.
