I'm going to play ball here to demonstrate what a retard you are.

When 'free trade' agreements enable capital to flow out to countries chasing the lowest possible wages, it empowers the internationalists because now they can control the wages, domestically and abroad.

DR-CAFTA does not do any of these things. All of the nations that are part of the agreement can export to the US without limit as things stand now. What this agreement does is eliminate the tarriffs the US pays when exporting to their nations, meaning that American worker's products are more competitive in their domestic markets. It also gives the US a leg up on China in these markets, and China is bank-rolling the anti-DR-CAFTA movement.

Ya Savvy?

Funny that you call me names. There are NO tariff tables in the text of CAFTA-DR.

There are, however, committments to implementing sustainable development which is a policy of socialization of private property and economic restrictions on individuals which was developed by the gobal socialist herself, Gro Harlem Bruntlandt.

How much of the agreement have you read?

The CAFTA is only about tariffs argument really falls apart when you do just the tiniest bit of poking around...

While not necessarily a part of Plan Puebla Panama, CAFTA is a necessary precursor to the execution of Plan Puebla Panama by the Inter-American Development Bank. The plan includes construction of highways linking Panama City to Mexico City and on to Texas and the rest of the United States.(hemispheric integration)

The transfer of authority(sovereignty) contained in CAFTA to various supranational and United Nations entities such as CODEX, WTO, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) is in fact a key reason CAFTA has yet to gain approval in the Republican controlled United States House.
