Worse yet... we are the cause of much of this globalization... but the moment it begins to make us uncomfortable...
When it means we must come to grips with interdependence...
Suddenly, we want out.
Unfortunately, tarrifs and tantrums won't fix anything.
Now we are seeing that reality play out.
Globalism isn't a philosophy. It's an acceptance of reality.
What we see now, in the US, & elsewhere, is a vain attempt, driven by misplaced nationalism, to "de-globalize" our world.
Never does any good come from the undisciplined and thoughtless severing of connections in complex systems. Never.
Yup.

A fair tax could cost "average" American more than the current income tax. Loudermilk talks like a rich person who thinks he is an "average" earner.

Worse than that, it fails to understand the complex system we live in
We live in a global world, whether the illiberalists want to admit it or not
Globalists are not people with an agenda, they are people who see the world for what it is
