Despite attempts by the candidates to relate to working class Americans, neither side has taken a stance on reforming our trade policies that really stands to improve the situation for the American worker. Obama's solution to everything is tax credits, which is a euphamism for welfare, which would be nice if money grew on trees. . . well I guess money is printed on paper, that comes from trees, and the more money they produce, the less it's worth, like fruit . . .so I was wrong, in America money does grow on trees, but we owe Farmer Federal Reserve and the Banker Boys nearly 10 trilion dollars. What's a few more trillion between buddies, right? McPalin is working the time tested approach of playing on 9/11 and war time patriotism, and their solution to the economy is "energy indepenence", adding Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge to proposed drilling expansion. Have we as Americans not witnessed the trends in the fuel industry? With this global capitalist mentality, which has manifested it's ambition and potential with the implementation of the FTA's and WTO, do people really still rationally believe that increased drilling will mean lower prices? That oil and natural gas, like oil and gas pumped from federal and state land and offshore already will be sold at market value, to whoever buys it us, the chinese, whoever. We are in a sense, allowing these corporations to rob us of our national resources, with tax incentives. We pay a price that is so high, industries profits are so high why?. . . not because of production costs, but because of market value, however whenever there is a production issue speculation runs rampant and prices increase more than they ever go back down. The investment banking industry is a big player in all of this. These "American" corporations are no longer American but Global. In a sense, they are their own sovereign entities, although we as Americans bear them on OUR backs, more and more so as we as a people allow corrupt leaders to further indebt us to the very same corporations. Free trade would be great if it were as it was presented to us originally, but this "FREE" trade is a one way street. We're doing business with our enemies, and putting the american worker in unfair competion with foreign industry that does not have vaguely respectable labor, environmental or quality and safety standards. Our trade defecit, national debt, unemployment rate and economy speak for themselves despite partisan spin and stock exchange numbers. The future is never certain but the path we are on is quite clear. I welcome any opposition, because it won't be the truth. See what your leaders ambitions are at http://cfr.org and http://spp.gov
DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE!
