I can back up the "whiner" comment - I'm calling it as I see it. I can cite the name-calling by those on your side of the issue, including yourself.

As I can back up the traitor comment. Now you have been several ytimes invited to discuss the issues of thrade and jobs which is what this thread is about and your only response has been Whiner.

The truth hurts, doesn't it?Sometimes I presume that is why some object to the use of the term traitor. However a whiner does not invite discussion of issues.

The only difference between Paul Craig Roberts and Jesse Jackson are the groups they claim to act on behalf of in carrying out their shakedowns. I stand by that comment, too.

So you are clearly stating that you prefer Ameicans to be harmed economically to having other nationals harmed economically? Paul Craig Roberts and most of us who question teh current trade enviroprnment are merely for American economic development and susatinibng an American economy if you wish to equate that with Jesse Jackson that is of course your perogative but then it is my perogative to telkl you you are full of it andf misrtepresenting reality.

There is a major difference between the government of the United States of American picking winners and loserts in the United States of America or handing outr favors to specific groups based on some arbutray criteria and the United States of America providing a good economic envirornment for all its citizerns and for its free market to work.

Now why should i have anyt faith whatsoever in your impatiality as to calling tehm liek you see them when all you have done is call names. Perhapsa I should respond by staing that your attitude is more like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's thatn anyone else all you do is repeat the slur without justification.

A good economic environment is one thing - that is best dealt with by dealing with things like the overtaxation and overregulation of Americna businesses. The "lawyer tax" would also be a very good thing to address. Encouraging the use of new technologies in manufacturing would be another thing as well.

Protecting the American economy from the bad consequences of overtaxation, over-regulation, and allowing the "lawyer tax" to go unaddressed is not an option that will solve the problems we face.

It is no different than not dealing with the real problems in the inner cities, caused by the very high illegitimacy rate and the serious damage done to the family in the inner cities.

Paul Craig Roberts has chosen to attack a "demon" in free trade rather than deal with the overtaxation, overregulation, and the "lawyer tax", just as Jesse Jackson has chosen his "demon" of racism rather than deal with the sources of the problems in the inner cities and elsewhere.

They took the easy way out. They are demanding protection from the consequences of bad policy in the past that will only get worse if they are not fixed. They would rather whine about "demons" that make convenient scapegoats as opposed to addressing the real problems that involve heavy lifting.

Sorry, but I'll stand by that comparison. If you wish to see it as a slur, I can't stop you, but it only proves my point.
