You are right.

I’ve been to China, and understand China’s system is much different than America’s system.

China owns everything in China. Even “American” companies, have a majority Chinese owner, and everything belongs to the state. That is to say ... NOTHING BELONGS TO AMERICANS.

Nothing.

America for all it’s innovation and historic leadership, is being blindly led down a path toward complete sell-out, apparently by both parties.

We need to bring back American jobs.

One of our parties, very badly needs to start supporting American businesses once again.

I hope, with everything I know, that party is the Republicans.

If not, we’re doomed.

(IMO)

You get some things right, but you have a lot of wires crossed. Did you listen to or read any of those links I gave you?

It looks like the Trans Pacific Partnership issue is heating up again, with supporters from both parties. How has NAFTA worked out for us? Here is some commentary that sounded very troubling and refers to the new Congress.

We need to organize quickly. President Obama and the new Congress are moving to pass Fast Track legislation which will permit the President to sign secret trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) before Congress sees them and restrict Congress from determining what impacts the TPP will have on our health, economy, communities and planet.

We know what previous trade agreements like NAFTA have done to outsource jobs and lower wages, block efforts to protect public health, expanded inequality and increase our deficit. The TPP is a whole new breed. We call it “NAFTA on steroids.” The reason the TPP has been negotiated in secret and is being pushed through Congress in this unconstitutional and undemocratic way is because it contains provisions that will give corporations even more power to determine our laws even down to the local level and remove our power to fight back.
