Reply #9: I know people make more money on trade, but the working class loses the jobs to other countries [View All]

I guess we just have a different definition of "us", working class blue collar people are more important to me than the b ottom lines of corporations that hoard cash, layoff workers and shelter profits from taxes.

It is a good sell job you are doing, stick to your brochure, I heard all that before and watched plants close here to be re-opened in mexico back during the last big sell of this.

You are not quite as good as other's who have been selling right wing policies, but we all have to start somewhere I guess. I am still not buying, I am not a right winger.

If free trade is so damn good why did even The President run on trying to fix the earlier trade agreements that had "shipped jobs overseas"?

What you fail to see is that this deal is full of "bipartisan" Reaganomics, 80% of the Chamber of commerce recommendations and tax cuts.
This is more of the same stuff that doesn't work, with the exception of a very small part of it that deals with infrastructure, and even that is using the Chamber's approach rather than the Democratic method in order to be "bipartisan".

The bi-partisanship they are talking about are all from proposals put forth by blue dogs in agreement with full on Republicans.

Still not buying, but you are learning to sell the right wing policies (I am sure you don't even realize it) that have not helped this country.

Not buying, you are wasting your time, as any salesman will tell you, it would be a better use of your time making cold calls than trying to sell someone on a product they have learned is faulty, plenty out there are just to misinformed to know the product is faulty and you should be out looking for them.
