#1 What am I missing here? If a country taxes our stuff upon entry into their country, why shouldn't we do the same in return? Are conservatives that stupid that they don't get this? Fair is fair.

#2 This is all part of the Free Trade mantra from doctrinaire libertarians who insist on dealing with the rest of the world as though they play by the same rules. There belief system is that Free trade is the one and only driver of increasing wealth.

This is true in the abstract BUT we don't live in the abstract. What this does is increases the total wealth while ruining the equitable distribution of that wealth, concentrating more and more in the globalist .5%. see NAFTA.

#3 When Duncan Hunter Sr. was running in the Republican presidential primary in 2008 he advocated what he called the mirror policy. If a country charges a tariff of a certain percentage of the price of our products, we should charge that same percentage tariff on their products. Too bad, nobody paid much attention to Hunter. McCain won the nomination and we all know what happened after that.
