Gone are the days when Americans had the right to eschew slave labor. Now the globalists have brought down that barrier.

Huh?!?

Nobody forces Americans to use slave labor!

We can pay exorbitant union labor rates and continue to make our products totally uncompetitive if we want.

We just shouldn't expect someone in Europe or South America or somewhere else to buy our products at outrageous prices when they can get them from workers willing to be paid less.

It's not "free trade" that's making you uncompetitive. Until you march around the globe and make others to buy your products by force, you have to make them competitive.

Now why are you so glad that America has been destroyed?

Silly question.

Why are you glad that people die? Why are you glad that the sun sets? Why are you glad that force equals mass times acceleration?

No one forced the Mattel toy executives to hire a factory in China that uses slave labor and produces poison toys. But due to "free trade" the company could do business there, and with slave labor to boot. Most Americans were unaware that Mattel was no longer a US company and bought the poison toys. Do you think if the administration and congress were honest they would restrict imports from slave labor countries like they used to do. Most Americans had NO IDEA that "free trade" would lead us to the destruction of our ethics and domestic economy, how could they? But here it is, we have more slaves in the US than since the civil war, the labor department has only let on to 140,000 but there are many more now. We also have slave made goods in our supposedly 'American' corporation retail stores. Why is that?

We just shouldn't expect someone in Europe or South America or somewhere else to buy our products at outrageous prices when they can get them from workers willing to be paid less.

You clearly have an antipathy toward America and what it means. Americans shouldn't have to march around the globe and do anything. If a so-called American company wants to sell their products abroad, fine. You are telling us that for them to do so, you have to kill the American domestic economy, which is destroying America and American independence. In your mind, when did the global economy become more important than American independence? Or did you never believe in American independence?
