Context

Text

But that don’t make the question go away. How do you protect the American worker? Or are we supposed to lose our jobs till the playin’ field is perfectly flat and we’re willing to slave away for the same lousy wages as people in developin’ countries? Pennies an hour. Goddam pennies an hour to try and get by in America. And say it came to that. What kind of country would it be? I’ll tell you this. It ain’t one I’d want to live in.
