• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

There is nothing wrong with free trade as long as it's actually free trade. We sell in Canada today minus any tariffs and we wouldn't be selling there if there were.

China is a different story because they do have tariffs; up to 50%, and currency fixing. I would be in favor of actual free trade with any country.

Our Government can help, not only with trade agreements, but by stopping corporate double taxation, and stopping the punishment of corporations that actually make money.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with free trade as well, The problem I have is that with our crooked government it will never happen. So the average working American pays for it

I agree for the most part.

I should also clarify that by "we sell to Canada without tariffs" I meant my company. NAFTA does impose tariffs and is not actually free trade.
