I am NOT a Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Republican, Democrat, Right wing, Left Wing, nor anything other than an American for America. In my opinion, unions helped in sending our jobs to foreign labor markets. I am pro American labor.You asked 6 questions. Most of the points you are making I would agree with. I'm a liberal. I like unions. I'm pro labor.FYI -- Charity starts at home. Why should we help foreign economies before we help our own? Why should we spend hard earned American tax dollars abroad before spending them here to stabilize our own economy? What would be wrong with putting Americans back to work, producing what America uses and consumes? Why sacrifice our own economic well-being in order to strengthen foreign economies? Do American taxpayers want their tax dollars spent elsewhere to assist others, while America experiences economic hardships? Do we elect representatives to serve us, or do we elect them to serve the world, and place America last on the priority list?We should help good 3rd world nations if they plan on using their prosperity to lift their citizens out of poverty and if they have something to trade.NO, I do NOT mean anything of the such, and never implied such nonsense.Actually I heard a Republican author the other day that pointed out that while free trade has hurt the masses in America it has brought billions of non Americans out of poverty.The term "Global Economy" basically means "equalization to the lowest level". Use the U.S.A. as an example.
Mexico, every other s. American country we do free trade with in south america including Cuba and Columbia now, India, china, Africa.
If you mean you'd prefer a dog eat dog world of winners and losers that produces a small rich and merchant class and the masses are poor vs our way where theres a small poor and rich class but the masses are middle class?
Just curious, what would be wrong with fair, equal, and balanced foreign trade agreements and policies?
Please answer all questions honestly. Thanks.
