4. More trade deals like NAFTA - you know outsourcing US jobs is supposed to
create jobs here in USA. Seriously, that's what the centrists are arguing right now. CEOs say let them send jobs to unregulated labor markets and they'll trickle down some jobs on the profits on the rest of us. History has proven this is pure bullshit.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE MILLIONS OF JOBS LOST TO NAFTA AND CHINA AND INDIA AND "FREE TRADE" - THE PROFIT WENT INTO THE POCKETS OF CEOS WHOSE CORPORATIONS PAY MINIMAL TAXES.

So, of course when democratic centrists and other right wingers say outsourcing jobs and cutting wages for workers while increasing CEO bonus money will help everyone, they are just kissing the asses of their Wall Street masters because that's what they are paid to do.

Goddamn it, we deserve what we get for being so fucking stupid to believe this bullshit from right wingers in both parties.

We are in a ratchet situation where anything Washington does, just tightens the noose around the necks of the non-rich.

Just like the famous stimulus package, the "jobs" bill will flood a few rich people with cash while continuing to neglect the other 299,999,999 people.
