Wear it proudly and with honor and a smile! :-)

Those who don't know any history, shouldn't even attempt to debate with those who do. Sadly, they can and do on FR.

Why do you so feel the need to change the subject and beg what everyone else gets away with? I think the point here is that companies and politicians think they're getting away with something for the moment.. just as they thought they'd get away with amnesty programs for millions of illegals being used as cheap labor to undermine the market in the favor of business.. getting away with it.. Not a difficult concept that there can and will be repercussions - people held to account for their actions. You apparently don't want that to be the case. Tough. I can say "live with it" too.

I have tried, repeatedly, to get this thread back to its topic. That is hardly changing the subject, which is exactly what YOU have repeatedly done!

Your projection complex is almost as bad as your Marxism is.

For a change, why don't you actually READ the article which heads this thread and attempt to talk about what it says, instead of going off on whatever agenda that your are obsessing over? It would make a nice break from your usual nasty, tired old pity party whinges and Socialist propaganda spews.

Tell me how, using your logic, anything you can do will affect how the chinese choose to treat their prisoners? That field of thought is too rich to cover here but it goes to show the weakness of your argument.

Try this, how can any law our country might pass long protect an inflated wage for an anachronistic job against a global market? The world has changed since there was a "big three" and your daddy drove either a Ford, Chevy or Plymouth(remember Plymouths?)and competition comes from anywhere. You can rail against it or you can compete against it but you cannot legislate it away.

I see your screen name is derived from your thought process.

Not all Chinese work for slave labor-just the underclass...children, political prisoners etc. The Chinese who make US products-not just China either. It is strange Kathly Lee was condemned for her sweatshop labor practices a few years ago. Now this sort of behavior is celebrated. China recently launched a face cream made with human skin-executed prisoners I expect. The Chinese are evi, and we should have nothing to do with them. We will pay a price for making an evil death celebrating culture rich.

I would love to know exactly what field is safe from the global economy garbage. Jobs are exported or guest workers are imported. Go ahead and get your great education...but you can't get a job that doesn't exist. It is quite interesting to me that Freeper can not see the dangers of globalization in terms of lost jobs and lost sovereignity.

Except for illegal aliens, W's doing well there.

Social Security is going belly up when the Boomers reture. There are only two ways to fix the situation. Privatize Social Security or import enough people to to work and pay social security so the benefits can be paid to the soon to be retired baby boomers.

Illegal immigrants are great for fixing social Security. They pay into social security with their fake Social Security numbers and will never draw a penny.

What trade policies and laws would you suggest be implemented to deal with this?

Why is it if business tries to maxiamize profit, it is some how heroic, but if an ordinary person tries to get the best wage possible and wants his/her family covered with medical insurance or other benefits, this person is greedy and deserves to lose his job? I doubt most of the posters on this forum could live off of 12-14 dollars per hour which is what Adelphi is planning to pay their employees. What all of you fail to see is that if this happens, we could be looking a deflation ie depression. We are witnessing an attempt to destoy the American worker-after they get done with the union worker, they will come after your job. None of us have any value to multi-nationals-it is about making cheap products for cheap prices.

Damn right I half read half skimmed your post. Very revealing especially about the role of overseas Chinese who by the way are immigrating here (Canada too) like crazy legal and illegal. ChiCom Chinese are also jamming into Latin nations that surround us such as Panama. ChiComs have an electronic listening post in Cuba and trade with her.

Some of these fossils you're arguing with haven't held a job in twenty-years.
