Who's side are you arguing on? Do you know?

With offshoring, of course the business interests want it. The business interest at the time of the American revolution was the "King" that wanted it. The problem is that when the King got his way, every day americans lost their livelyhoods.
They could not make a living. And it's those everyday americans that the declaration served to protect. By protecting the local market, The freedom lovers put the colonists back to work in their own market. And that expounded upon for a few hundred years is what helped make this nation an economic powerhouse. Some american businesses want Cafta if it means exporting to other countries without duties. Of course those want it. But they are outweighed by the greater interest of the Average American whose rights and livelyhoods must be protected. Average Americans whome you see fit to disown and wiz on
for the sake of your greed as it were. When you boil it down, It becomes the colonists vs. the King all over again.
And your side has become the king.

Your analogy is so fundamentally flawed that it's absurd. The CAFTA nations are not our colonies.

Nor will CAFTA cost us jobs. Hello, when we sell more, it means more jobs for us.
