Because of the increasing ease of international trade. Protectionism is 
manufactured scarcity. It's an attempt to buck market forces. As soon as its 
cheaper to have something manufactured in, say, China, and have it shipped over 
than it is to manufacture it locally, any attempt to prevent that from 
happening is like trying to prevent water flowing down hill. It may please your 
local artisans, until they want to buy something which is artificially 
expensive.

In the end, technological change always wins over politics.

Politics has _far_ less power to improve things than politicians would like to 
believe, and would like _you_ to believe. In the end, the engineer trumps the 
politician.
