You had all the political might of the White House, and all the political might of the Republican leadership in Congress, and you had the Chamber of Commerce, and you had all the big donors and special interests pushing it through the Congress– as I’ve never seen them push anything before. And it was the biggest news story in the country. And last night, in New Hampshire the two candidates who won, both ran aggressively against Obamatrade in both parities. That’s a political earthquake. Miller said that the “chasm” between the Republican donor-base who support globalist policies and the Republican voter-base who oppose them have “become larger and larger with time”: If you look at the Republican Party and the Democratic Party one of the most important differences in terms of how they cater to their own voters can be seen in the exit polling last night, which showed that about one in seven New Hampshire Democrats said they felt ‘betrayed’ by their Party, whereas half of Republican voters said that they felt ‘betrayed’ by their Party. And ‘betrayed’, of douse, is a very strong word– it wasn’t ‘have felt let down’ by their Party. It was ‘have felt betrayed’ by their Party. You see that reflected, of course, in the fact that you’ll rarely hear… a progressive Democrat complain, ‘Well, I feel like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) 9% doesn’t speak for me, or I feel like Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) 2% doesn’t speak for me.’ In the Republican Party at some point split between its voters and its donors. And its donor-base… pushed globalism. Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon pressed Miller on criticism raised by those who support trade globalism. “I know the editorial board at the National Review is going into complete and total meltdown right now because…. [economic nationalism] is not the talking points that the CATO Institute gave them and the Party of Davos donors that run the National Review.” Bannon asked Miller how he would respond to the accusation that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) 80% ’ and Donald Trump’s pro-American trade agenda is “anti-capitalist.” “That presumes that capitalism and globalism are the same thing and they’re not even slightly the same thing,” Miller explained. Capitalism is, if it’s working properly, is an American system that keeps wealth in the United States of America. It’s not capitalism to form a deal between two countries in which the other country gets your job and gets your money and gets your manufacturing, that’s just a terrible deal. Economic nationalism is simply a term that describes keeping wealth in the United States, and it can be applied to a lot of different systems. Mr. Trump, of course, as his career proves, is a capitalist. So he’s talking about applying his skills… as a capitalist to make American wealthier, to make families in America wealthier, and to make business– small, large, [and] in-between– wealthier and most importantly to make the paychecks of blue-collar workers bigger at the end of the year. Trump, Miller said, is “the one candidate in either party who will be able to negotiate trade deals that bring our jobs and sovereignty back to the United States.” Hear the interview:
Wow, great interview. If running a massive trade deficit is such a good thing, why are we the only ones doing it? Are the Chinese, Japanese, Germans et al just too dimwitted to appreciate how much better off they would be if they ran trade deficits?
The political establishment are straight-up Fortune 500 puppets. Nothing more. Horrible people. Scumbags
We elected them. People get the government they deserve. Anyone who thinks that the current crop of presidential candidates (God help us) is going to improve the situation is delusional.
we elected people who promised to end obamacare and balance the budget. the democrats elected people who spoke of single payer not insurance company care we got the govt that was purchased by the cronies You may be right... because its not that I trust any one running for office to do what they say... but what choice do we have? If not Trump or Cruz then who? Who has the balls, who has the presence. Who could use the bully pulpit better to get the cronies money out?
if the markets were truly free and currencies not riggged... and private central banks not guaranteeing bonds etc. Our current system is crony capitalism... not free market capitalism. this is similar to the way the Trusts were built up... populists and Teddy Roosevelt came along and busted them up. we need to protect ourselves against crony capitalism. As I have stated for years strategic tariffs instead of income tax until we get some of our industries back and then the other countries play by the free trade rules.
nothing will change until we run out of money. America is a young person who just got their first credit card (and a credit card whose limit is routinely raised.)
or better yet, eliminate corporate and cap gains tax, elimininate the mortgage and charitable deduction, treat dividends and interest as ordinary income, replace with an extremely progressive income tax with rates as low as 1% and as high as 99%.
