5. Oh Yeah...THIS is gonna work out.

What could possible go wrong with THIS group "representing" the American Working Class?


They ALL share a Faith Base Belief in a Giant Invisible Hand despite 25 years of data that proves it does NOT exist.

6. Where is pampango and the other free trade worshipers who jump on these threads to defend

these suicidal trade deals? We're running up 500 billion dollars a year in current account deficits, losing millions of middle class jobs, yet the guys who actually determine the policies written into these deals are becoming more insanely rich. I've been saying for years that our so called "free trade" deals are in NO WAY real "free trade". They are simply investment/outsourcing scams masquerading as "free trade" and designed to make a tiny percentage of the population even richer.
