I don't have to assume or go into hypotheticals. I run my biz right here without having the need to send it to places like Communist China.

Ask yourself before slanted destructive trade laws like NAFTA and others, how did America become the global economy powerhouse? We were warned repeatedly about things like NAFTA turning those at the top into the super-rich while America and American jobs/wages/standard of living at home declined.

Guess what, that is exactly what happened.

Very good. How do you deal with union thugs and the ongoing problem of the minimum wage? Likewise, when OSHA comes snooping around, what measures do you take to thwart their anti-business agenda?

What is really entertaining is when you crunch the numbers for NAFTA the best the Unionistas can come up with is 700k jobs lost to NAFTA and this over a span of 17 years. Or around 41 thousand jobs a year.

Of course the unionistas leave out a whole lot of things (Like blaming NAFTA for jobs that get replaced in the USA by automation etc.) But even if their figures are true (And they are not) blaming our current Job woes on a reported number of jobs lost @ approximately 41,000 a year average is Laugh out loud funny. Especially when you consider that CNN Money reports that in 2008 we lost 2.6 million Jobs And that is just in 12 months.

ANd why did we lose those jobs? It wasn't NAFTA or any of the other trade agreements it was because the players in the big game inflated the money supply by allowing the financial big cats to game the system with credit default swaps and other bits of financial trickery and then paid it all off by putting taxpayers in all the Western Countries in debt for 4 generations.

This dried up credit which in turn dries up business expansion and start-ups.

It wasn't free trade agreements. Sorry to burst your bubble.
