Spoken like a true patriot. (/sarcasm)
Or, perhaps, they chanced to enter "karl marx" and "free trade" in Google and got some interesting results.
Free traitors keep interesting company. They just don't like to be reminded. Do they, poohbah?
Why do let yourself get so worked up on these outsourcing threads? What exactly is your vested interest that makes you so touchy about the topic?
Ah yes, the Google numbers = valid argument approach.
Google search: Results 1 - 10 of about 99,300 for Karl Marx free trade
Google search: Results 1 - 10 of about 1,320,000 for Vampires
nuff said!
next argument!
Mad Dawgg
Sorry, I value freedom more than I value the US government.
So you contend that intelligent analysis of the raw results is superfluous? Truly pathetic.
Why not find a WWII veteran - say, one who was at Normandy - and share that sentiment with them. I'm sure they'll find it interesting. Perhaps they'll remember it as they reflect on their friends who didn't survive.
Thank you for showing everyone your values. I'm confident they'll be an inspiration to all who value cheap prices for consumers above all else.
Like the Normandy veteran I know who went expat in '93 because of confiscatory taxation? How about the veteran of Sicily who decided to go expat in '86 because of the same issue? Their employees were sure happy that the boss was getting soaked every April 15th...right up to the moment the pink slips arrived...
Thank you for showing everyone your values. I'm confident they'll be an inspiration to all who value cheap prices for consumers above all else.
I value freedom more than I value the United States government. You, conversely, value the US government over freedom.
Freedom? Or cheap prices for consumers? Only recently have you cared about freedom; previously, you've been the outspoken champion of cheap imported trinkets.
Whatever, you've stated your views. I've added a link to this thread so I can refer to it easily. I'll let others draw their own conclusions about your values.
No I contend that Marx was wrong on all points of communism including the fact that FREE TRADE promoted such.
You are the one that offered goggle results as a valid argument. I just showed you how idiotic it sounds when one uses goggle as a measuring stick.
Sorry if I destroyed your premise by using logic but you will have to get used to it since we are working under Real world conditions.
I spent eight years of my life as a Marine protecting your freedom, so that you could advocate confiscatory taxation of my income, all because you're a worthless parasitical gobshite who can't live in the manner he would like to become accustomed to without stealing from everyone around you.
Foxtrot Oscar, pogue.
It is you and your left-leaning ilk who cry that corps are not paying their fair share, yet when it is pointed out that all the will happen is higher prices you assert that we in opposition are touting th cheap prices as our cause.
Nice try but that monkey don't dance.
What is being pointed out to you time and time again is that taxes on corps will not have your desired effect no matter what you try save for price controls. Which I am sure is your next step, if so then it is Katie-bar-the-door and we can watch as all the major corps flee or fold.
The only people who believe Marx was right are Marxist-Leninist university professors and Marxist-Buchanist protectionists. Both are equally worthless.
My ancestors were chased out of Ireland, England, Sweden, and Germany. They came here to America in search of freedom.
Alas, nothing lasts forever, not even free nations. Perhaps my grandchildren will need to emigrate to another country to find freedom. So be it...
And 100 years from now, the neutrinos of this world will be posting on FR, wondering why the country is falling apart, and why America can't be rich like Siberia, Anarctica, or wherever it was all the productive Americans emigrated to.
Likewise, I'm sure.
Yeah, sure. You have duty rack, pogue. Mister IRS wants to have a good time.
Time constraints prevent me from investing time in crafting extensive responses to proponents of so-called free trade. Nevertheless, I will not leave you mired in an outdated and misguided economic philosophy without first providing you some resources whereby you may extricate yourself. The links listed below will help your thinking to evolve beyond the outdated and erroneous concepts of the self-trained amateur economist David Ricardo, the originator of the free trade concept who died in 1823.
In fact, free trade is a global welfare system intended to transfer wealth from the U.S. and her people to the third world. An example of their scheme can be viewed here
You should also be aware that China and India, despite their whining protestations to the contrary, are no longer poor. China, in fact, is right behind the U.S. in terms of GDP. Think what this implies for the future as China's military becomes stronger. You can read more here
I look forward to the day when those who have favored free trade recognize the error of their ways. They will cease to promote the U.N.'s global welfare schemes. They will abandon the path favored by Karl Marx. They will instead embrace America and her people.
You first. I'm sure we can all learn from your experiences in this sort of activity.
Getting rather shrill, aren't you? It must be terribly uncomfortable to be in an untenable position.
A bloodier civil war when the Gods of the Copybook Headings start reminding China about the consequences of one child per family.
Getting screwed by the IRS?
Yeah, I have a LOT more experience in that department than you do. After all, unlike you, I actually pay taxes.
