I disagree. Allowing your goods to be made in countries with no environmental laws by slaves working in dangerous sweatshops is no benefit to anyone worth benefiting. You either raise the standard by making them toe our line or gut our laws to match theirs (or lack thereof). We cannot compete with slave labor.
Regarding SS: No way would i surrender that point to you or anyone else. That is my money and i'll have it back with interest.
As for single issue parties, I don't see why you think they'd be effected. There is more than one way for any single issue group to make it's wishes known nor is there anything in what i said that implies groups and organizations couldn't recommend favored candidates to their membership.
