Pyro as Bill said:
I understand protectionism from a steel/war capability and that the US can effect world prices.
We can't. No single european country can. Sure, as a bloc we can but that hurts the population.
I want inefficient industry to leave my country (even if that means losing my job). i want protectionists to fuck off too.
Capitalism isn't greed, it's efficiency/productivity (in a free market).
If I lower the price of X for the 7 billion people on the planet, I deserve every penny of efficiency savings. Unfortunately 'capitalism' will spread the profits with my competitors.

Sounds like you want to earn the same as a chinese worker? otherwise more or less everything could be moved there. A country cant live on just services, there needs to be some production there.
And dont worry, slowly more and more jobs are moveing over seas. So it looks like your getting your wish, dont mind the unemployment in the UK.... you rather those work places not be there right?
That makes no sense.

I have no problem with a 'decreasing' salary as long as the prices of the products and services I buy fall faster.
Giving up inefficient industries is the sign of an advanced economy, not a 'Chinese worker' economy.
'A country cant live on services' - If they don't have to worry about war they can.
