Trump: ‘For Too Long Our Government’s Policies Have Punished Production in America’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "When we purchase products made in America, the wealth, revenue and jobs all stay in our country to be enjoyed by our people. Since we first won our independence, our Founders and many of our greatest leaders have promoted that we should afford a special level of protection to the products and goods manufactured within our borders. They understood that as a nation we have common bonds with our fellow citizens and common obligations to each other. Making them buy made in America products brings us closer and strengthens the ties that link us all together. For too long our government's policies have punished production in America while rewarding and encouraging the movement of production overseas which is totally ridiculous. The result has been the loss of numerous industries, the decimation of entire communities and years of sluggish growth and flat wages."
