8. Free Trade is NOT good for Americans unless the field is level.
The American Worker CANNOT compete with workers in a Communist Country working for Slave Wages without environmental protections or Human Rights protections.

Open your eyes. Look around.

You espouse the same BS that the investor class used to sell this idea. Ross Perot was RIGHT! The PROOF is in front of you.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS have lost their HealthCare, the ability to pay their house notes, and the ability to tell their children that they will have a better life.

The lofty elite will respond, Well, millions of Chinese are now making a better living....so it balances out.

BULLSHIT!!!! How does that rhetoric help the poor SOB who has to get up in the morning and try to find a job so his children can eat! Multiply by MILLIONS.

These people have not lost their jobs through an evolution of technology. They have lost their jobs through a POLITICAL POLICY that was BOUGHT by the RICH to improve their bottom line. Our Representatives in DC are SUPPOSED to look out for US...not the fucking CHINESE and the 1% of Americans who don't have to work for a living.

Fair Trade NOT Free Trade.
BiLateral trade agreements based on Human, Environmental, and Economic Rights
