[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be real, cheap labor has always played a big role in how countries industrialize. Capitalism kind of runs on it. All the major economies we know today got to where they are by relying on low-cost labor, and honestly, they still do.

If you want to survive in a competitive capitalist system, you need access to cheap labor. If it’s not available at home, businesses usually turn to outsourcing and find it elsewhere.

That’s just how the global economy works. It’s not exactly fair, and yeah, it can be pretty messed up. But it’s the reality we live in.
Capitalism tends to go hand-in-hand with inequality and some level of labor exploitation. It’s not ideal, but it’s part of the system.

So, you're saying if we implement tariffs, globalist capitalism will go away and take their money with them, and we'll be left with a fairer more equitable economic system?

Long live Trump and his tariffs!  Lets' do it![/quote]

Look, when globalist capitalism pulls out and takes the money with it, our economy is going to take a serious hit. We’ll end up poorer. Our standard of living will drop. Maybe the system will be more equitable, but being equitable is not the same as being prosperous.

Fairer and more equitable systems like Socialism struggle to create real wealth or long-term prosperity. History has shown.

Capitalism isn’t perfect, it’s got plenty of issues. But at the end of the day, it’s still the best system for driving progress and lifting people up economically. You can’t win in capitalism without exploitable cheap labor.[/quote]
