Let's talk about the elephant with the donkey up it's @SS or vice
versa. This political shell game that is being played in this country needs to end. The primarys start and the media picks the one that we should like. Remember the Dean scream,sank his boat and I saw it over,over,over,and over again. The Multi-National-Corporations donate to both sides,to hedge their bets,so for them it doesn't matter who wins. If the same side won over and over that wouldn't be right,why not throw a crumb of hope to the sheep. Keep driving wages down,until we compete with foreign labor,since we do absolutely nothing to make sure our counterparts have rights. You see child labor is wrong here,but child labor in China is ok. Either we bring the rest of the World up to our level or we go down to theirs,which is it going to be?

1. Tarifs to uphold values.
Or truth in advertising by educating the population why Walmart could have a dollar or cheaper item.

However those that want to set the trade laws, free trade, only have values of supporting consolidations.


I agree, I don't follow concepts of race to the bottom, and think when everything is moved to money. Fines not jail time, and only the price of some goods, as the only determiner of production, then there is a problem.

I do understand getting a country into some production capability, but if they don't have fair bargaining, and better human conditions for workers, then their should be tariffs.

I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

3. Good reason to make production more local.
And have production that helps society, and is not throw away production like consumerism and many sectors of finance and things like think tanks for propaganda or security control apparatus.

5. I thought about fighting it along time
Some of the more questionable websites I have visited,have suggested that there will be a NWO. What I am wondering tonight is,would that be such a bad thing? One currency everyone equal? Thoughts?
