To: Can i say that here?
I was hoping you would clarify some of your seemingly non-capitalist viewpoints such as sending our free market dollars to non capitalist countries, your advocating the federal governments involvement in increasing the labor pool with the use of non-citizens, and your lack of opinion on the proper role of a capitalist employee.

That is just a bunch of silly spin to advocate the federal government banning businesses from hiring certain people. Actually, I believe in that in serious cases of national security (i.e. I support the Cuban embargo), but the appeals to national security here are a total joke (like Amtrak, welfare, and your other federal interventions in the name of "national security"). This is all about forcing Americans to pay more to prop up the jobs of a privileged few that can't compete otherwise. That is the exact opposite of capitalism. No one is "exporting" jobs or "sending" money to Communist countries. Sorry you fall so easily for such stupid rhetoric (and don't mention a word about the millions of American jobs created through trade with China and India as well as the billions of dollars of investment they "send" our way as well).

You're weird.

None of my statements were socialist. I've offered no support for any type of federal action whatsoever. You support the use of Hb-1 workers which is only possible if the federal government grants companies permission to do so and then you claim that telling the federal government to quit is socialist.

You are willing to trade 100 manufacturing jobs for 200 jobs as a stockman at wal-mart? Where is the benefit to capitalism in that? Are automakers better off for selling 200 Escorts rather than 100 Cadillacs?

After calling me a socialist you still haven't made one statement on the role of a capitalist employee. I don't think you grasp the concept and until you do you will continue to be dismissed by the socialist who think you represent everything evil about capitalist and the true capitalist who think you are giving them a bad name.

As for your last point, I'm not sure that selling all of our business interests to the Chinese is a basic principle of capitalism either

So Cuba is a national security threat, but China is not.

You are nucking futz.
