I am also not the one running around crying about a great consipiracy taking over the world. Now that is Lame
No. It's not lame. It's something to be aware of and prevent.

Perhaps. So you admit there's an overarching plan?

Nope, but if there was the war in Iraq would be part of it.

Oh no. I caught you red-handed, you admitted to the New World Order. nah nah nah nah nah.
When did I say the middle class would be decimated by such things? Mixing arguments up is sad indeed. At least pay attention to who is saying what.
In Cuba, the embargoes simply made it easier for Castro to strengthen his power. In China, the same type of effect...
We can at least learn from the past rather than be doomed to repeat it.

I'm not mixing up arguments, I'm adding a new one. My concern is not really the welfare of the chinese people. My concern is the "race to the bottom" condition which occurs when other workers are forced to compete with slave labor. We should not accept slave labor in the civilized world.
Castro may have increased his power, but global labor markets were not ruined in the process. The infection was contained within cuba.

Groups?
So which democrat is against importing chinese slave labor goods? I must have missed it.
That's the "learn from history" part. Such an embargo in other areas of the world simply did not perform to what it was proposed for. Unless the people themselves, like in South Africa, want it all it ends up doing is unnecessarily punishing the very people you are attempting to 'save'.

Yeah as AHZ types away on this mostly Chinese computer calling for a boycott of China
Just a ban on any good made with slave labor. Damn the consequences. The world can pick up the slack. Maybe other people will get jobs too.
Why are you so pro-totalitarianism? Think for the long term of humanity, instead of for the short term of your portfolio, you selfish homunculus.

Well to be honest I am for a severe embargo(Imports) on China for food products as well as many other products of inferior quality...they may be cheap...but damn they will kill ya physically as well as financially in the long haul...The food products do not come close to safe standards...and the electronic as well as other products have a "Short" shelf life...this means ya have to repurchase them over and over again...not what I call cost effective...!
