Deb do you really think that a Buick, or a Jeep sold in Beijing helps America in any way?

A Buick or Jeep sold in Beijing, is by Chinese law required to be made in China, by Chinese workers.

On Chinese factories.

China gets it. We’re fools. And the GOP is right at the front of the fools parade - playing with the band and holding a big fools banner which reads:

“Free trade helps everyone”.

If it’s so great, how come we’re broke? And increasingly unemployed?

And losing elections?

Honey, all American subsidiaries in other countries are (partially) owned and (completely) operated by those countries, with the workers coming from that country too. That's why Obama's new tax on over seas operations is such a travesty since those companies already pay the tax of the host country. Now he wants them to pay an equal tax here.

You know something? You have become tiresome and really aren't worth gong back and forth with. I'm going over to the "Talking Cat" thread.

I read something that said that the special interests were against free trade when it hurt them and for free trade when it benefitted them. We haven’t had free enterprise for a long time, what we have had is monoploy cronyism. The people with the big bucks and the high powered lobbyists have gotten their way most of the time. Washington has been the best little wh@re house on the Potomac for a long time.

The big business interests realized that they could make more money by sending jobs to poor countries. When you look at the illegal immigrant problem it is the cheap labor coming in to the country to do the jobs that cannot be imported out. Two sides of the same coin.
