Look, I have been respectful of you and I have overlooked your foul mouth as I explained the issues but I will not continue to debate with you unless you offer the same respect to me.American companies will have to follow the rules set forth via the American peoples representatives. If you do not like that tough shit.The European Union has not failed but has added members to the original 6 bringing the number today to 28.The fact remains it was failed prior to Trump so as usual your are just slinging shit hoping it will stick with some idiots.Bill Lee's opinion is worthless because he sees the European Union as an experiment and a project. It is not. What the EU is is a collection of treaties between sovereign states to have a single market without tariffs but a free market with a single currency and a goal for ever closer political union which is held together by a respect for all the nations with many different languages. With a stroke of the pen members agree to cooperate rather than individual nationalism that would tear us apart as happened in the last century.He is full of shit (literally). They were failures before they were Trump'd.
The European Union: A Failed Experiment
Donald Trump is a protectionist who will harm the ability of the United States to trade in a free market. He is also very ignorant about how economics works. For example, he wants all the pharmaceutical companies which have headquarters in the USA to close down all their research in European universities and to withdraw all their production from the European Union's single market of 28 states. This makes no sense because the companies will not even have the ability to avoid tariffs by producing within the single market. This is not how free trade works. American companies should continue to research and develop drugs both in the USA and the European Union and to manufacture in both domestic and foreign markets. But Donald Trump's plan is to restrict them to one American market facing a tariff wall with the European Union and more expensive drugs imported from the EU. The man has no clue.
As to the rules by American politicians, there is only one man I know of that wants to regulate American companies by punishing them for manufacturing both in the USA and abroad. That man is Donald Trump. What surprises me is that the Congressional Republicans who have been in favor of light regulation of the market place are saying nothing about Donald Trump threatening successful American companies unless they get out of manufacturing and researching abroad as well as at home. Republicans all of a sudden are in favor of punitive regulations by Donald Trump???
The american political system has but one goal, to continue to concentrate and redistribute societal wealth into private corporate/bankster hands.
