CAFTA: Stepping Stone to the FTAA

Why? Globalist.

[endthematrix]

"...we'll all be the same."

Now that Washington catch-phrase, "we need to level the playing field" becomes clear.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Why what? I touched on more than one problem.

[endthematrix]

"Why does Bush want to sign this?"

The New American has repeatedly exposed the "insiders" and their goals.

[NewRomeTacitus]

I keep coming back to Novus Ordo Seclorum too often to discount. Only a fool disregards what he keeps stumbling over. Very bad stuff.

Why is it that our "leaders" seek a zero percent tax rate on goods transferred between nations, but a 10% tax rate on goods exchanged between US citizens, a 20% tax rate on capital investments made in America by Americans, and a 30% tax rate on the labor that an American trades with his employer?

Because those goods have already been taxed by the home country?

[Mulder]

Because those goods have already been taxed by the home country?

LOL! So it appeals to their (politicians) sense of fairness and justice, which politicians of both parties like Bill Clinton have plenty of? You have to be kidding.

The real agenda is the eventual eradication of political borders. One of the first steps is the elimination of economic borders. Just look at the EU. First they had the common market, then a common currency, and finally a centralized political union.

The 'powers that be' have a similar agenda for us Americans.

[FITZ]

That still doesn't answer why only certain exchanges must go to supporting our giant government. American labor is being severely punished.

Generally speaking, taxing an export as it leaves the country places it at a competitive disadvantage if the importing country taxes it as well. Reducing the importing country's ability to tax that item allows each individual country to tax its own product, and set its own tax policy.

[FITZ]

places it at a competitive disadvantage if the importing country taxes it as well.

Then we need to end the income tax, social security tax and all other taxes that make American products be at such a disadvantage. American workers cannot compete because we have such a massive government to support. Look at the huge chunk taken out of our paychecks before we even see them --- Chinese don't have that to contend with.

[1rudeboy]

Agreed.

[Iron Matron]

Look at the huge chunk taken out of our paychecks before we even see them --- Chinese don't have that to contend with.

I believe a flat tax should be implemented, but only for the protection of the United States. Funding should be for military purposes, interstate highway systems, things that are necessary to this country. (things like welfare should be dropped - it does not benefit the country as a whole, but steals from those who work for a living)

Now, there is one other thing the Chinese do not have that we have: FREEDOM.
