If we buy goods produced in other countries that were once produced by an American worker that worker is out of a job.This has been the case in many sectors of the economy over the years.The claim that we pay less for these goods as a consumer is usually not the case.If this goes through take a look at the prices of sugar,shrimp and textiles and see how much you're saving.The prices would be less if the corporations passed it on but they don't.This country was built on a system that protected American workers and industry from cheap foreign slave labor for 200 years.Today the corporations have so much influence over the government that they are allowed to put their profit over the good of the country.Americans sent all their saving to China and they took on a record amount of debt to send there as well and in return for all their money and future earnings they got nothing but junk.I call that wealth transfer.
