Bob Lighthizer: Why Trump's Tariffs are the Only Way to Save the Middle Class

And there was just a study by Gordon Hanson out of Harvard and some other people. Other jobs did come back, but they were jobs – at the lowest level of health care and the like. In other words, they were, did employment come back? Yeah, but the people went from having the kind of job that I described, one that you could support your family and be proud of, to one where you really couldn't.

We need families where people work and do productive, good work, and they're proud of the work, and they feel better about themselves, and they project that to their children and to the community, to the Little League, to all these kinds of things.

These people who worked in these factories in Ashtabula when I was growing up, and some of them, and some farmers, they were proud, hardworking people who, at the end of the day, you know, said, my dad is this. You know what I mean? It was a proud, healthy thing.

Yeah, my father's an interesting story. The Lighthizers—of course, there's a lot of us that aren't Lighthizers, right? But the Lighthizer strain came over— to the United States in 1748. There was a guy named George Lighthizer who came up. He was an illiterate from what is now Germany. He fought in the revolution. He was two years older than George Washington. He was an old guy.

He fought at Trenton. He was at Valley Forge, this guy. At Princeton, he was on the line with two of his kids, who were quite young, all three of them on the line together. He got out after three years. Of course, by this point, I don't know what he would have been, maybe 48, which was an old, old person. The kids stayed on and fought all the way through to Yorktown.
