On Monday September 1st, the Dallas Morning News ran a short editorial
on the increasing loss of middle class white collar jobs overseas.

The article is not online but basically supported the policy of free
trade and ended with the admission that there was no good defense for
the policy with tangible job losses.

My response.

Your Worst Nightmare

Re: "Jobs Increasingly Going Overseas," Editorials, Sep, 01.

There are two things you got right editors. White collar, middle
class jobs are going overseas and those that support free trade have no answers.

While you take your usual jab at democrat Bill Clinton, you make no
mention that the free trade policy is equally endorsed by George Bush.
As Ross Perot so eloquently told us "just wait, you will hear a giant
sucking sound" as good jobs disappear down the free trade drain.
He was right, you are wrong.

What you fail to understand is that I and others are your worst
nightmare: white, educated, intelligent, articulate, and angry. I take
every opportunity to bend the ear of others. Like the visit I made
last May, to the offices of Senator Hutchinson, Cornyn, and
Representative Sessions, for a chat with staffers.

After laying my BSEE, MBA, DD214, and Commercial Pilot License on the
table, there was stunned silence in the room when I said "we have a
problem in this country when someone with such experience, education,
and training cannot find a job."

What you should know is that the chorus of discontent is growing and
it is aimed at both free traders and the present administration. In
militant terms, it seems that "the man" wants all God's children to be
slaves. Economic slaves that is!

1. Good work!
And all of us must keep up the work of telling the truth and not letting the "liberal" media get away with anything!
