What do you propose? Let's go with the democrat idea of a world minimum wage. Let's go with unionization and collective bargaining all over the world. Let's force environmental and OSHA style regulations on the rest of the world. Let's drive labor costs up across the world. That giant sucking sound you'll be hearing is the sound of the whole world's economy going down the toilet and your wallet emptying out as you overpay for consumer goods. Why don't you go vote for Dean?

Didn't I say what I proposed? If not, then here it is: I propose telling Japan, China, and South Korea that if they don't start buying from us, and quickly, then we're going to stop buying from them. I also propose that if American companies act like traitors then they're going to be treated that way. And lastly, I propose eliminating laws that have made communist China a better business environment than the United States of America. You know the ones I mean. EPA, OSHA, Union CBAs, lawyers. All the ones you think I want to foist off on the rest of the world. I don't. I want to get rid of them here. There's so much we can do, but too many politicians have a vested interest in ruining our own economy, and too many people believe the lie of free trade when there's no such thing. Free trade means the U.S. is a dumping ground for nations that refuse to buy from us. Dean or any Democrat won't stop it. They're not interested either.

What do you propose? More of the same?

Ummm, those agreements China sign to get to WTO status...those same agreements China then ignore to use slave labor, to use child labor, to loose 10,000 fatalities each month, to dump into rivers till people can not drink and Bejing disappear from sight of satellite for 3 months each year, to pay 27 cent per hour to worker with no compensation with arm lost or eye lost, to make all worker live in open bay shack or army to work half year for free in factories, that giant sucking sound you hear is the First World Economy going down toilet and your wallet emptying as you get bargans at store that you no longer afford do to no job or pay check.

But don't worry about vote, poor people vote left, very poor Vote Communist...US on way to personal Communist experience, one China trade deal at time.
