I hear you.
Anyway...
The beauty of a competitive marketplace is consumers, one by one, get to decide what to buy and where. And what they buy is what *they* think is best for them, where *they* choose, not what some politician tells them to buy, and that is not usually from the politically-connected entrenched player trying to keep the tide of change at bay. Sisyphus 2012.
The divide here is that protectionists (and their apologists) don't care beans about consumers and consumers happily return the favor; they don't care if the supplier makes money or not, they don't care if they survive or not--as long as they continue to get what they need at a price they like.
Disdain repaid with disdain.
