Fair enough. I’m not really interested in your income though.

I’m a programmer. Over the last 5-10 years I have watched perhaps a full hundred of my co-workers walked out of the office by security. Some in tears. Their stuff in a box.

And yes, that sort of p*sses me off.

Your turn.

Well according to the free-traders, you are obsolete in this new global economy. In fact, 99% of Americans are obsolete. There are 4 billion more people willing to do your job for far far less. Doesn’t matter if they aren’t American either.

Free-traders are totally incapable of discriminating between interstate trade and international trade. This makes them nationless, unpatriotic, unAmerican. Their citizenship should be revoked if they want to be a citizen of the world.

Precisely.

Increasingly, “American” companies no longer are helping America.

They are now actively damaging our nation. For money.

Where I come from, that’s known as treason.

A lot of people have for so long instinctively understood “what’s good for GM is good for America”, they will fight kicking and screaming the realization, that a lot of so-called “American companies” are selling us down the river.
