The Republican led congress and president Clinton gave China carte blanche to take America's entire manufacturing industry by creating goods under zero human rights and environmental standards, therefore drastically under-pricing US competitors.
American workers saw their salaries slashed down to 1/4th what they had been and in exchange for that they save a few hundred dollars a year on goods they buy at Walmart.
We need higher taxes on the rich to subsidize US manufacturing as a national security issue. We can't afford the risk of being so dependent on manufacturing in China that is causing global warming and strengthening a non-democratic state.
