It's not about being against trade, it's just the type we're seeing with third world countries that allows them unfettered access to our markets while they protect theirs. It's recent policy begun in the nineties. No wonder corporations are packing up and moving to them.
The proportion of Americans who're employed is greater than it was in the '90's. Real family wealth is greater now than before NAFTA. Real income is higher. Industrial production and exports are up. Ordinarily I try to avoid messing with someone's weird belief system. My concern on a forum like this however, is that someone else might actually swallow this nonsense and do something really stupid --like vote to raise my taxes.
