Lansburg on Protectionism
Posted: February 10, 2010 Filed under: Economic Freedom, Free Trade, Protectionism, Sweatshops, Unions Leave a comment »“Back in 1992, a ten year old Bangladeshi girl named Moyna was one of 50,000 children who lost their jobs in the wake of protectionist legislation sponsored by the execrable union-backed Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa…Tom Harkin doesn’t loathe her; he just doesn’t give a damn about her. Ditto for the union goons and theAmerican business owners who tout their made-in-America, untouched-by-Third-World-hands product lines. Those people (by and large) aren’t hateful; they’re just mercenary and callous”
