It's all about greed by corporate greedholders and American sell outs.

I'm sorry, but in a capitalist system, all profit is not greed. In a socialist system all profit is greed. As for me and my business, I prefer the former. If you can get the capital together and do it for zero profit, put your bid in. Only a true socialist would call stockholders, "greedholders".

No, only a true socialist would justify selling out America by having it SINK to Mexico’s level as corporate greedholders profit; the result of the greedholders and sell-outs is that three countries are equalizing as American taxpayers foot the bill for the “equalization”.

a capitalist system

A capitalist system would not have CONTRIVED "free" markets, as is going on with NAFTA and the NAU.

I can't disagree with you more.

Most of the problems we now face, as a Country, are directly related to greed. And you can't/don't see that, do you?

There is absolutely nothing wrong, in any way, shape, or form, in making a profit, and I mean LOTS of it.

However, there are three golden rules which have served our Country well over the years.

In the process of making a profit, an entity should always operate...

1. Legally.
2. Ethically.
3. Morally.


Now, tell me, just how ethical it is to sell the ground out from under the feet of Americans who have worked so hard to build this Country. Please, explain to me how it's moral to, knowingly, put Americans out of business and jobs, for the sake of a few dollars in the hands of foreign shareholders.

I have no qualms, zero, in helping other Nations reach a higher level of sustainability, and quality of life. But to give away what we have worked for, paid for, and died for is the most disgusting, vile, contemptuous, act of government we shall all ever witness.

If WE, as a people, allow this to happen, we deserve what we get.
