"...policy begun in the nineties. No wonder corporations are packing up..."

The proportion of Americans who're employed is greater than it was in the '90's.  Real family wealth is greater now than before NAFTA.  Real income is higher.   Industrial production and exports are up.  Ordinarily I try to avoid messing with someone's weird belief system.  My concern on a forum like this however, is that someone else might actually swallow this nonsense and do something really stupid --like vote to raise my taxes.

So anyone who doesn't agree with you has a "weird belief system"? Well I happen to think that the policy of exporting jobs while importing people is not only weird but one of the dumbest any nation could pursue, especially for the long term health of its middle class. And if you notice we're only ones doing it except for maybe Canada so that must tell you something.

Sure, if you count people who work one hour a month as employed.
