Remember... They make it cheaper, why would they want, or even have a market for anything produced in the highly regulated and taxed USA?

I guess you've never been those high-end stores in big cities. Google "Chinese shopper" and you will see

It amazes me how liberals are willing to sell out the blue collar worker and bow to forigien interests.

That's how the rich think - instead of helping the American worker by keeping the jobs here, they outsource them to keep their mega-million salaries, then hit the consumer anopther 25% when they buy them.

Your entire post is about an 18th century solution to a 21st century problem.

Correct. There was no Federal Reserve. There was gold and gold has value today. Printed paper that can be manipulated does not have.

You had to physically transfer gold, to make the sale in trade.

As long as we have the needed regulations and overhead to produce products safely, we will never ever be competitive on the global market.... EVER! Tariffs had been around and established to keep our economic machine running as we allowed and begged for more regulation.
