I’m not against free trade. Look at Toyota. They (until lately) had a great product. Very dependable.

There has got to be a healthy balance. Fair trade, that is.

Our traitorous government has bowed to the corporate lobby and allowed good paying factory positions to flood outta this country.

We cannot compete with labor that makes a paltry wage, little to no benefits.

Industry that pollutes their waterways and land at will. Little safety regulations, far different tax structure.

Our government has killed industry in this country.

Free trade? ... Fair trade? ... There’s a difference.

“Traitorous government,” government that “killed industry” — Who voted our government into office?

“We cannot compete ...” Competition requires competitors, and it’s a real world fact that quitters lose.

Then too, pollution control and safety assurances are wonderful to have, but they have to be paid for ... and today’s America is long on debit and short on credit.

Who was it that said: “Brother, you asked for it”?
