"China has a tarfiff of over 20% on our goods - we have a meager 1.6% tariff on goods shipped here..who's being protectionist?? FRee Trade is the mantra of the corps but were do American products have FREE TRADE?? we are suckers losing American Jobs and Industry while a few in the Corp boardrooms get RICH on side deals with the Chinese and third world countries."

Thank you!

They put a 25% tariff on American autos coming into China. The proposed tariff for the new line of Chinese autos that will be imported to the U.S. is 2%. Is this Free Trade? I think that the majority of FReepers who constantly parrot "Free Trade" have a financial interest in this imbalance or have regional loyalties to the countries involved,
whether it be with China or our NAFTA, CAFTA, FTAA trading partners. We have been set up with the express intent of bleeding the U.S.

And it's working, look at how much smaller our economy is than it was in 1994.

correct, much like the Dubai ports deal, American's can be fooled alot but we have very good gut instincts on the BS of Globalism and misnamed "free trade".
