Exactly, Free Trade is a nice ideal. Fair Trade is essential.

Face facts -- countries have gotten larger right from the time when all the Anglo-Saxons Kynigs were brought together under one OverLord, King of England who then created the United Kingdom. the US is made up of 50 states. We need some more and vote to add the 6 in Australia first and then maybe the Canadian ones and then the UK, some parts of Mexico etc.

I heard everything you heard and not once did I perceive anybody "playing on my fears".

Conclusion: it was your perception

[Mortimer Snavely]

Obviously developing the USA's underdevelopment by developing Red China's industrial and technical strength is considered a good thing.

Boortz is nuts, as are those who think he's brilliant. Trading with the enemy is as wrong as wrong could possibly be.

Lets talk about the FTAA and its relationship to outsourcing.

First there was the Pan American Union. It was transformed into the Organization of the American States by the Council of the Americas, a so called business organization that has called all the shots on NAFTA and the FTAA. They pretty much direct the OAS on what to do.

The OAS in its charter, says that in order for a peaceful association of nations to occur, that there must be harmonization of the nations. Where have we heard that before? Downward harmonization, the race to the bottom, whatever, are the result of the massive outsourcing of American jobs and manufacturing. I believe that outsourcing is encouraged by our federal government as a way of accomplishing this harmonization so that the FTAA will come into being in January 2005.

The OAS is acting very much like the federal government its supposed to be right now. If you read the charter, it has franken privileges in every member state, says that International law is the standard of conduct of States in their reciprocal relations (not the US Constitution for the United States), it says The elimination of extreme poverty is an essential part of the promotion and consolidation of representative democracy and is the common and shared responsibility of the American States, hence the migration pact (the illegal alien amensty act), transfer of social security funds to illegal aliens who leave the US, the MIllenium challenge account announced in Monterrey Mexico in 2001 which will give away $5 billion in foreign aid by next year.

Then don't forget their final statement in article 3-- Social justice and social security are bases of lasting peace. Social justice which is the antithesis of America's founding, equal justice.

End of Part II

Your "symbiotic relationship" thesis sounds strikingly familiar: Marx said the same thing.

You do not know Marxism. According to Marx, the creative destruction of capitalism, globalisation and intensification of class warfare was necessary to build the fundation for socialism. "Symbiotic relationship", trade unionism, redistribution and social compromise was hated by Marxists as an obstacle to the revolution.

Corporations are legal constructs as a vehicle for ownership of property. So, the corporation is a "creature" of the US (I suppose) but the US, as a government entity, has no moral claim of ownership on a corporation. Unless it bought it.

Corporations are the creations of the state's power to confer some kinds of limited liability to a business. A corporation is formed to insulate its individual administrators from personal fiscal responsibility for the corporation's activities, and for other purposes, mainly tax purposes.

A corporation is solely in the business to provide products and services and make a profit while doing it. They are completely and utterly the creation of a state, without which they would not exist.

Russia could save a huge amount by getting rid of most of it's nukes.

OK, nukes are the other reason why Russia cannot become a banana republic (or another Serbia).

The job belongs to the employer, not the employee, and that idea springs from our notion of personal freedom.

The same personal freedom enjoyed by thoses living in places like China?

[A. Pole]

We need some more and vote to add the 6 in Australia first and then maybe the Canadian ones and then the UK, some parts of Mexico etc.

You will not have "some parts of Mexico". You will get the whole thing and a little more (Guatemala, Honduras etc ...)

Who is involved making the FTAA a reality?

Thoses who themselves have no real skills are trying to reinstitute serfdom; And they are appauded for loving freedom.

[William Terrell]

They are creatures of United States law which can be changed at the will of the People. They have no natural rights which cannot be reached by legislation (although their owners do).

Bump to that!

[Cronos]

You will get the whole thing and a little more (Guatemala, Honduras etc ...)

Oh, we can get a little bit. The Chiapas want to have their own coutnry in the south. Let them. While I'm not advocatinga nother Mexican-American war, remember that we DID take California, Texas (at least American settlers did) and the western states from them. We can do so again. The Mexicans may prosper when they are states in the US. Then Guatemala and Belize will be a problem, but they'll be better off than they are now. Eventually I'd like to see a real United States of America -- all of America under the stars and stripes.

[Cronos]

Obviously developing the USA's underdevelopment by developing Red China's industrial and technical strength is considered a good thing.

What if we added Mexican states to the US and harnessed that lower cost labour to be in direct competition with China's lower costs?

Then it must have been the perception of tens of millions as well. The GOP is touting how the spending those checks has helped the economy "recover".

[jpl]

You think this article is helpful? You think someone who is unemployed and about to lose his home to foreclosure will become convinced by something like this to vote Republican?

I'm absolutely certain that Ronald Reagan would never have won two landslide elections running on the Neal Boortz philosophy. Why, that old Commie bastard actually had the nerve to protect Harley Davidson from going out of business!

Then don't forget their final statement in article 3-- Social justice and social security are bases of lasting peace. Social justice which is the antithesis of America's founding, equal justice.

It sounds as if the proponents of the NAFTA and FTAA acts are supporting socialism. How is that possible?
