Repubs free market at any cost - costing Repubs
The Dubai deal is opening lots of eyes . I see signs that alot of people are realizing the downside of globalization. Theyre asking why American companies dont own American ports . Why is the majority of this country owned by foreign companies? This cant be good for repubs . They are the gurus of the free market at any cost principles. Most uninformed repubs are aghast at this .

1. When they ask about American companies/American ports
we should also ask, if the majority of America's ports are foreign countries/companies...how many Foreign Ports do American Companies run?

3. Not only foreign ports...
but also any other major infrastructure type of any country.

This is a huge issue and the Dems could exploit it....if they have the guts to....

2. Hey, this is capitalism; it's the "American Way"
If you can put a price to it, you can buy it and own it.

If increasing my bottom line means stomping on worker unions, bribing Chinese bureaucrats to use their prison labor as free labor (slave labor), and buying the votes of politicians so I can buy and sell everything under the son, then IT WILL BE DONE.

Worship capitalism? Worship THAT? Hell no. I turned into a socialist because of those soulless zombies that sit on the various boards of directors of major goliath corporations.
