Fix your own problems before offering to fix other people's problems. If that sounds like greed to you, then there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not arguing for isolationism, but I'd rather we get our economy to thrive again before funneling jobs and money towards other economies.
Well your just as greedy as those business owners who don't want to raise minimum wage. Aren't they prioritizing themselves and their family's first?
I don't think you people on the left realize your own hypocrisy.

Oh I guess I just don't want a single job going oversees. Oh I didn't like a downer ending to a book series, so I wanted it to end with frolicking in the flowers and everyone hugging trees. I don't know why some people think in extremes. Is that what Strawmaning is?
Well your midset is completely wrong. Its not that we are "shipping" jobs overseas. Its that people overseas want those jobs more than we do so they are willing to work for less...so why shouldn't they get them? Your answer is you want you and your friends and family to have them for no other reason than pure selfish greed.
Its not strawmanning. Its exposing your hypocrisy. You are just as greedy as everyone else, and you want to manipulate government policy to satisfy your greed at the expense of others.
