NAFTA, Racism & Treason

without comments

NAFTA is an act of treason, pure and simple; it’s not about giving Mexicans jobs or producing products at a lower price and passing the savings along to the consumer, or about retraining displaced workers for better more technical jobs.

NAFTA is about making bigger profits at the expense of the of the domestic workers that are being fed to the wolves of state unemployment agencies that hold onto federal funds as if it is coming out of the pockets of their pants, rather that ensuring that those that are covered under TRA & TAA/ATAA receive all the training and higher education that they need and desire to obtain to ensure that they are able to provide for their families. They mislead, confuse and lie to the employee that has lost their jobs to someone in Mexico who is making less that one tenth of what the American worker was and the profit is passed along to the share holder the company CEO’s and the consumer and the unemployed worker are the ones that are paying the dangerous cost of this un-American behavior.

What will be the cost of the loss of manufacturing in America if we face another global war rather that a global market. America can ill afford to lose its ability to manufacture hard goods and the associated ability to transport those goods rapidly and safely to the US military and our allies. NAFTA and the NAFTA Super Highway will undermine that ability and our national security.

Are we ready to surrender our freedom for the sake of treason and corporate profit? To surrender our families to the greed of corrupt politician’s and company CEO? To giveaway the future of our children to political parties made up of men and women that will spend millions of dollars to get a job that pays less that two hundred thousand dollars a year, what would America be like if the fry guy at McDonalds was to spend thirty thousand dollars to get at twelve thousand dollar a year job and a nurse had to spend two hundred thousand dollars to get a forty thousand dollar a year job? Where are our priorities as a nation and as a people?

My great-grandparents immigrated to America near the end of the 19th century from Germany (my mothers grandparents) and England & Ireland (my fathers grandparents & great-grandparents) because in America if you were willing to work hard you could get ahead and become something, now people come to America because the government will hand them everything and expect nothing in return, and anyone that calls for the new immigrates to learn English and assimilate to the rest of America is a racist. I myself am no racist, the klan, the nazis, and any other hate groups no matter what color or race they are needs to be dealt with in such a way as to make them impotent and of no effect. Racism is the product of ignorant simple minded people who wish to keep not only people of color down, but all people regardless of color, white, black, brown, or any other, racist wish to keep all oppressed, all ignorant, all fighting each other and not working together.
