Ron Paul isn’t interested in opening foreign markets, the only thing Ron Paul is interested in is removing all US trade barriers.

Ron Paul thinks it saves the consumer money to purchase items made by cheap foreign labor. Ron Paul is wrong. Consumer items from China are just as expensive as ‘Made In America’. I still haven’t seen one example of how ‘Made In China’ is drastically cheaper then ‘Made In America’, especially at the cost of high paying manufacturing jobs.

The Chinese government through internal taxes and export tariffs on outgoing goods, marks up the price. (They get to purchase a 1st world military in the process, real stupid. Really really stupid and shortsighted.)

The company in China which manufactures the goods, marks up the price.

The warehouse which receives the items at the docks, marks up the price.

Meanwhile Joe 6-pack Republican wonders why taxes on the rich would hurt the American worker if capital is only used to invest in foreign countries and foreign workers.

Free-trade (with cheap labor as the only object) is destroying the Republican Party. Republican voters have already recoiled in horror, shouting with one voice, against Amnesty AND the guest worker proposal. The immigration issue is all about cheap foreign labor and Joe 6-pack knows it.
