  Is it really fair to prevent foreign seamstresses from making a living?

  There are American made ties on the market , but the price was really high.

Norway, Denmark, Sweden all have economies that provide better for their people,
and consider this: they all offer longer vacations, maternity leave and healthcare to every citizen.
You are misled and mistaken.

laughable.....those countries if you look at the HDI are barely rated higher than the US
and they are tiny countries...where the cost of living is extremely high, none of
them maintain a large military (nice when you know someone else will protect you)
are more homogeneous than the US, and are not even close to the US in charity.

If it's so much better you should move there with your hard-on to
always pretend someplace else is better than the United States.

People live better in those countries, that is a fact.
Individual charity does not have one goddamned thing to do with it.
Sweden and Finland have never needed protection from the US. Your knowledge of history is stunted and false.
