I rarely agree with you, but I do think you're on to something here.

However, what if some of the European countries, whose social benefits are much better than ours, pull the same stunt with the crap we send to them?

Granted, we don't export much any more, but before we start claiming the high road, we better make sure we're on it.

No, you boycott their goods if you want and mind your business about what everyone else consumes. If you want the US to be competitive then convince the AFL-CIO to take reasonable wages.

Yes. You don't want to be killing a child and poisoning the planet every time you pay your iPhone bill.

Leftists never cease to amaze me. They whine for years that the US should stop imposing its will on other nations...and then they come up with a brainstorm like this.
