Win votes through socialism. Great.
Your expectation of corporations sounds like the "corps are evil" left. Why do you assume that Dell and Ford want their employees to be unemployed and are going to secretly screw the people that work for them?
having sane trade policies is not "socialism". government has no obligation to provide jobs, but it does have an obligation to ensure that the economic playing field is level, so that people can get private sector jobs. when you have entire industries in which employment is imploding because of trade, or where compensation is under tremendous downward pressure because of it - you've got a serious problem. again, look at the polls on americans view of the economy. the macro numbers tell us the economy is doing very well, why the disconnect? it can't all be attributed to media spin and gasoline prices.
if you think the american executive class gives a damn about any of their bottom rung workers, you are dreaming. they are just cost figures on a balance sheet to them, if they can toss them and hire offshore for less, they go without blinking an eye.
you obviously don't work in one of these industries, and that's fine for you. but many do.
