That was 100 years ago
This a global market today.

How long did it take to get to Asia in 1904? How long does it take today. Could you communicate with asia instantly in 1904 as you can today.

It's a differnt world today. Corporation are not tied to any one nation while back 100 years ago they were.

Protectionism of the early 1900s does not work today. It only harms the economy.

Protectionism really has never worked. Protectionism is there to benifit the minority. For example let say you get protectionism causing an tech workers to have jobs an unrealistic pay scales. This hurts the economy in that non-tech workers needing technology pay more than thier competition in other countries. These companies then cut back possibly even laying off a tech worker along with all the rest.

Offshoring is not all that bad it just changes the game. In the end it's these companies that are offshoring that will lose after their baby boomer CEOs retire like kings the corps will self destruct making Enron look public mischief.
