Left wing. Most outsourcing is done by corporations that side with the right wing.

well it's typically portrayed as left wing, the state interfering in the free market and all that, but curiously it's mostly about protecting the profits of large capitalist corporations, which are invariably right wing when it come to the treatment everybody except themselves.

Both these idiots are wrong. Obama has helped wall street more than anyone else in history. Republicans are pro business, not pro fascism nor communism which is disguised as "business"

Left wing. If all that is consumed within the US is produced in the US, the trade unions will become the de facto government of the US.

Depends on how corporate profit is threatened. Was General Motors screaming for tarrif increase on Imported SUVs to maintain market share, congress granted and that was the exact amount GM raised their prices for SUVs.
When corporate profit is threatened by high wages, its the liberals fighting for protection. |

Protected markets were the realm of classic conservatives but "neo-cons" changed that. Now the left is talking about it since so many of our industries left on container ships to desperate overpopulating labor mostly in Asia.
Below are accurate definitions. Today in the US most progressives and some socialists falsely call themselves "liberal." True liberals advocate: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Progressives advocate: social concern, omniscient government, and controlled markets. Socialists advocate: social responsibility, omnipresent government, and collective markets. Conservatives advocate: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets ("neo-cons" with international businesses have adopted freer market policies). |
