Reply #19: Remember , Dean is not against NAFTA per se [View All]

but against the unforeseen consequences. Those that require additional regulation to remedy, like outsourcing. Most Wall Streeters, whether Dem or re pub, recoil when you mention "regulation" because of the associated costs of compliance. As a Big NAFTA / GATT booster myself, I recognize that there are serious flaws that need fixing.

The whole "contract" that the Corporate body used to have with its employees needs to be reexamined. It used to be that the employee came BEFORE profit; that one would forego profit if it were possible to keep an employee. This isn't as senseless as it sounds, either. Where do they think continued purchasing power comes from? Hint: It doesn't come from sending that money and the potential customer overseas and away from domestic sales.
