You repeat the stock nonsense of the free trade types.

Are you dimly aware of the fact that wages for non-supervisory employees are most definitely NOT going up and in fact adjusted for inflation they are dropping ? That's the wages of all those Americans who DON'T live off of returns on investment and corporate profits.

Free trade and cheap labor is wonderful for Americans whose income comes from investments and corporate profits. It is lousy for Americans whose income comes from paychecks.

You repeat (and repeat is too kind a term) the stock garbage about "buggy whip makers" as if this were "creative destruction". It isn't. The destruction is of the American laborer, the creation is of the Third World laborer because on cost of labor the American regular Joe has no hope of competing.

I would like point out something also.. There is nothing in the Constitution that says a person has a right to good paying job.

I know it makes you Dims mad when we commoners do anything of our own free will. I know you think God put you here to tell us what to do, think, buy, exchange etc.

Sorry, but no thanks. I believe in freedom not statism like you Dims.
