Reply #7: I believe we were discussing Kerry's economic plan, not the SEP [View All]

Van Auken says that Kerry's plan will not reverse outsourcing and offshoring. Van Auken also says that Kerry's plan would exempt the profits made by the US corporations' foreign subsidiaries in the countries in which they are located.

NAFTA is the biggest cause for the loss of American industrial jobs. Indiana has been hard hit by thousands of manufacturing jobs that have been moved to Mexico. These jobs won't come back even if Kerry were to get elected.

Kerry supports NAFTA, so we can expect a further erosion of our industrial base as American corporations maximize their profits by moving production to those countries where cheap labor is plentiful, organized labor is suppressed by the government, and environmental laws are non-existent.
