The Wonderful World of NAFTA (Part 1/2)

[apple2018]

We need our nations to end Nafta And free our nations!!

[PowerfulMindsofWomen]

NAFTA, using and exploiting indigenous people for profits and free, or nearly free labor for life.

Modern-Day Slavery

[PowerfulMindsofWomen]

I just have one question: When are White males in power going to to stop expecting free labor? This is nothing but the Slave Trade all over again. FREE LABOR. That's all they want. They want all the money for themselves and to pay nothing to people who do all of the work. And some of us got the nerve to call the people who are used and exploited in these situations, "Lazy"! Who's the real lazy fat cat, eating all the mouses and laying all the traps? Who's the real lazy AND greedy one.

[QuietOneOnLine]

1993 - Bill CLINTON..... SIGNED NAFT - THE REAL Job Loss Killer..

[mrbwoab]

NAFTA was class warfare, pure and simple. There should have been riots in the streets when this piece of shit was passed against the American people's will.

I propose a solution. All the Republicans and Democrats who voted for it, all the lobbyists who pushed for it, all the editorial writers and media who justified it - why don't we send THEIR jobs to Mexico?

I guess "protectionism" is only granted to a favored few....

[MrEmerye]

Ron Paul voted against NAFTA. Jenawahrheit is wrong

[ctcole77]

3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:

If the ever so powerful govt. could commit and cover up 911, why did they have to destroy a building (WTC 7) just to destroy some documents?

Couldn't the govt. just haul the documents away and dump them into the ocean?

And do you really believe that those were the only copies?

[AiYAjazmineee]

omg.....................

[TheBayValley]

Mr. Knox's class :D

[meshuggahaaa]

very disroted view. won't even get into it.

[feugo1127]

is that when corn takes a crap?

[fartchd]

go fuck all the mexican immigrants they leave your country only for go to shame.

[fartchd]

CANADA... go fuck

[fartchd]

USA ... go fuck

[RichKilla86ers]

DEATH TO NAFTA!!!! ALLAH IS FUCKING GREAT!!!

[seores1]

And you think this is going  to change our world,???? sorry...just another stupid mexican........but, a very important one..

[seores1]

And you think this is going to change our world,???? sorry...just another stupid mexican........but, very important..

[certainlyitis]

Yay corn:)

[MsColdCanada]

Hilarious that it only covers the impact on the U.S. and ignores the U.S.-Canada part of NAFTA.

[Hperman09]

There should be called North American Fair Trade agreement, not "Free". Biggest mistake ever Americans made.

[xxDanielTM93xx]

They say NAFTA is the reason for illegal immigration and before it, Mexico was well on it's way to being a first world nation.

[JulesManson]

Outsourcing is destroying America from the inside. Insourcing is destroying it from the outside.

[angelbeta]

Ross Perot was right about NAFTA. Pretty good video. It simplifies a complex issue. However, there is no mention of the GOP (Bush and Co.) passing the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which is worse and with more countries than NAFTA.

[anthonyontherocks]

Americans lets stop pointing our fingers at immigrants....lets look at our government.

[nagasnharpes]

Free trade is the best thing any country can have, This is a dumb video, Tariffs hurt both countries, And what is wrong with a trade surplus and sending jobs overseas. When you save money with by getting cheaper labor you create more jobs eternally since the company has more resources they can allocate towards cheapening product price or expanding there business. Its a Win Win for both countries

[wby3006]

@nagasnharpes

That was a dumb comment.

[john5878041]

after nafta comes cafta.nafta matured at 1 trillion dollars and cafta if it happens suppose to mature at 10 trillion dollars.according to statistics.so bring it on this nation suppose to go forward and not backwards.we do need to resolve all kinds of problems that arise and the sooner the better for everybody.

[john5878041]

well nafta is good so its 2010 and it already mature at 1 trillion dollars and this recession didnt affect it at all it kept growing anyway at small numbers.according to facts publish.so bring on cafta and then the world trade which would never happen unless we all unite.with all this trades comes problems and we need to iron all of this problems before it gets worst.all companies involve with nafta when it started got richer including ross perot sons company.cafta generates about 10 trillon $.

[dusteroo]

My name's Bill, and I'm signin' a bill !

hoorayyy !

[alykayjag]

Love this! I'm going to use it in my classroom :) thanks I think the students will enjoy.

[OverlordJake]

@alykayjag Thanks! :)

[Baraquiel62]

@alykayjag if your the teacher its fucking retarded then

[vapors420]

Oscar winning screenplay...

[DreamerXGroup]

NAFTA is crap. why don't we just create one sovereign nation with canada and mexico and call it Westland? we're already fucked.

[rmccay88]

Ross Perot warned about this huge mistake way back in 1992. Along with the debt...

[YTSparty]

Commander Joe is made in China.

[simontimon2]

What about the 26 million Jobs that where created do to NAFTA.

[dusteroo]

@simontimon2

unstable jobs

[simontimon2]

@dusteroo There's no such thing as a stable job. The world changes and certain job are no longer required like the guy that sold ice before the fridge was invented.

[Slayerfan84]

HURRY UP And pass this thing already before the Japanese take over AHHHH!!!! THE JAPANESE ARE HERE!!

[joelflorew]

hay no entiendo un carajo de ingles, y a mucha honra, jajajajajja

[nagasnharpes]

This is an another example of people not knowing shit about economics and they look at one effect of policies and not the whole picture.

[Mezey5]

@nagasnharpes I know right, this person clearly doesn't understand. If you do want to understand the reality, Read some of Thomas Sowell's work

[MajorDestruction]

yep NAFTA worked wonders lol

[shiffty1032231]

NAFTA is not a free trade agreement but a corporate take over because its a deal where its written for big multi national corporations to go across borders where they get benefits while the rest of the economy suffers. Tarrifs, the lowest taxes, and the smallest government is the only way to return America to prosperity. In addition Mexico is a elitist controlled state where the government has a fascist control over the land, resources, and economy where the people suffer and the elites get rich

[waynemccranie]

Update to 2010, the Unions are less strong. the economy took a s--t. Our property values fell. We lose thousands of jobs per month. when do they decide that NAFTA was a bad idea? Unions said it was a bad idea in the beginning, business can't trust the Unions? Or the Unions can;t trust the business to be honest. The bottom line to them is the dollar, not the welfare of the USA. Less people that are working, less people to pay Taxes, less money to go for services, a bankrupt country. Get out now.

[john42m]

It all started under Reagan, It is a republican idea.

[benympls]

@john42m its a corporatist idea

[john42m]

It all started under Reagan, It is a republican idea.

[noir0222]

kind of sad to watch

[gothicking999]

COMMUNISM!



[Str8flu2h]

all i see is americans crying cuz some broke ass country knocked a pork chop off their table share the wealth because america is just like the giant corporation that dosent give a shit about you

[Maiyaee]

haha love it ! Nice way to simplify for Dummies the horror of NAFTA ... bravo ;)

[FrickinLaserBeam]

BS. Americans expect to earn good wages here in the USA and by cheap stuff made in fantasy land. Our ability to consume is comensurate with out ability to produce. American needs to export the crappy jobs to China and Mexico. That is a good thing. We don't want to have to earn a living sewing socks. We need to focus on making our labor more valueable, thus increasing our productive capacity, thus increasing purchasing power. It is this simple.

[MrSafetymeeting]

@FrickinLaserBeam You"re kidding right?Those "crappy jobs" keep food on the table for the majority of the country.How do you think we will replace the jobs?Even if our entire country suddenly became college educated office job people,there couldn't possibly be enough jobs.I do agree about Americans buying cheap foriegn crap.I think we slould be more self sufficient or the whole country is going to look like detroit.

[freetubester]

NAFTA destroyed the country but the NWO planned the decline and fall of the US 100 years ago. FDR said nothing happens in politics by accident.

[Thisawareness]

What many do not know is that the same shysters telling us they care about the environment, are the same criminals that sold us the economic,social, & environmentally destructive NAFTA & GATT expansion to the WTO. Al Fraud Gore was chief cheerleader for that. It allowed Corporations to relocate to countries that exploit their workers &the environment

No Carbon Tax which will make Gore&his Goldman Sachs pals billions of dollars

ECONOMYINCRISIS(dot)com

[badgerattoadhall]

the UAW is a local union?LOL

[badgerattoadhall]

damn it. this is full of shit, everyone knows that commander joe action figures are made in china

[zillypaul]

RON PAUL 2012 GET IT RIGHT AMERICA

[Jenawahrheit]

Statesman Ron Paul is one of the few leading men in the Nation who can lead the U.S. on the Wise & Prudent Path to American Strength.

[DJRAKKK]

@Jenawahrheit ron paul isnt a realist..and it will be the downfall of him ever becoming president. Hes not a good presidential candidate..because he believes big buisness will stay to himself..Sorry folks hes not ross perot..hes Ron Paul ...stop beleive its the same guy. cuz hes old and smart.

[ansofiak]

thanX for this video: it helps me to understand what NAFTA is already

^^merci

[Thisawareness]

What I have been pointing out is that Gore was chief cheerleader for the NAFTA & WTO creation which besides destroying multiple tens of millions of jobs in the US, allowed Corporations to relocate to countries that have little to no Environmental or Human Rights laws, so they create more GHG in production, then more in shipping the slave made junk back West. Cap & Trade will destroy what little industry that is left in the West & give the arch polluters a free pass

Wake Up!

[Dale9595]

Most of my new xbox 360 games are made in Mexico so pay atention when you buy and i am also from Michigan

[enomarekim]

Commander joe survived three tours of duty on the stove counter.

[Thisawareness]

Al Gore was one of the architects of two of the most anti-American, anti-human rights, & anti-environmental legislation in the history of the United States. He was in office when NAFTA & GATT expansion to the WTO happened.

Multiple tens of millions of jobs that paid good wages were shipped to Al Gore's Marxist friends in China & the third world so that corporations who greased Gore's pockets could exploit the Environment & Human Rights & stuff their fat pockets with money

Treason

[marshall2411]

its funny that so called American car companies are actually less american than the Japanese. Toyotas are about 85% built here, so I dont feel guilty buying one anymore. Support the American middle class, buy Japanese

[hamace]

Great info, too bad the voices and cartoon made it impossible to sit through

[DontEatEggs666]

Wait, why would politicians sign this bill? I don't see how they would be making any profits, what was there purpose? It seems like only the big corporations made money.

[Cracky3000]

i think we should nuke nafta because if we don't the USA will have more imagrizers coming over here and taking the jobz, we already don't have enough jobz that why so many people r unemployerized. darn nafta gonna take r jobz. i hate mekzicanz any hows, i mean why should we let europeanz into the country when we already dont got enough job the govment just want to take away are jobz so they can take away our guns.

[edlin22]

@Cracky3000

I think that NAFTA was a bad idea. Of course it's only purpose was to gain profits at a minimal cost for the large corporations in USA. I feel like your hatred or racial preference has nothing to do with NAFTA, you should really post comments that aren't so ignorant. Also try to write intelligently maybe your opinions would be taken more seriously.

[simontimon2]

Machines kills more job then outsourcing.

Somewone in China could do your job for 10 times less then you

A machine could do your job for a 100 time less then you.

[cpblackangel88]

Although I'm an extremely conservative Libertarian leaning Republican I do agree with NAFTA, because your not liberal to be against free trade. The constitution gave us the power to restrict trade and with our trade deficit as high as it is we should. Also I don't know why we should do something as unconstitutional as the the income tax and we can't put a constitutional tariff with mexico.

[Andrew90091]

You should do a video like this about the NAU.

[noir0222]

wi ar safering coz of nafta

[oneboyce]

is corn dumping when corn takes a crap hehehe...great video>>thanks for posting....i flip burgers to support my family hurray....I gotta a job ese urray...

[joeycusack80]

Excllent video, thanks for posting

[1998disco72]

NAFTA biggest mistake we ever made!

[Spidey1588]

@1998disco72

George Bush was.

[HoGraz]

@1998disco72 We didn't make it. The power elites again told us we should go for it. "Yea this is a great idea." I agree though. It's ridiculous. Toyota and Honda do better and they work with their people unlike the American companies. That's one of the reasons why the American companies end up unionizing more. People I talk to say that's a bad idea to not have a pyramid structure but a circle around manufacturing, but the truth speaks for itself. Chrysler and GM have been bailed out under Reagan

[HoGraz]

@1998disco72 and Obama. We need to get away from this heirachial bull or it's only going to get worse. That's why things suck. Course that doesn't matter to business. They think they've got it figured out cause their TV reaffirms their MINDSET instead of policies.

[davlor86]

@1998disco72 Well NAFTA benefits more U.S.A. than Mexico or Canada, it's funny to see how americans complain so much about it...

[cracks21229]

NAFTA:

Reagan conceived it.

Bush negotiated it.

Clinton signed it.

[cpblackangel88]

This is the only thing I really disagree with on the Republicans.

[simontimon2]

Machines kills more job then outsourcing.

Somewone in China could do your job for 10 times less then you

A machine could do your job for a 100 time less then you.

[cpblackangel88]

I feel machines can serve us as job creators rather than destroyers. And that's why I feel that the government should invest more into robotics through the military and businesses should also invest in it. The real reason I oppose and am against free trade. Is do to money going to other countries so they can build weapons to kill us. We should have machines,because in America with robots producing products at low cost millions of jobs will be created in that and countries will buy from us.

[simontimon2]

It's not the role of federal government to invest and intervine in the free market.

[cpblackangel88]

@simontimon2 I'm probably the biggest advocate for that. Yet what I believe is that the military should invest in robotics as in building a robotic military. The result of this would be new technologies created that the market would later use. We get a military that would make it so not as many young men and women have to die. And the market gets robots that will create countless amounts of new jobs and make goods and the way of life cheaper. I'm a Ron Paul guy.

[simontimon2]

Ron paul doesn't believe in having military in that kind of way.

[cpblackangel88]

@simontimon2 Well the note that Ron Paul is opposed to a strong military is a complete misunderstanding. He's for a non interventionist foreign policy that involves cutting 100 billion dollars out by getting rid of the 700 bases. I feel you should get rid of all the welfare,medicare,medicaid,soci­al security, and all other unconstitutional government departments like Education and the 700 bases. Balance the budget and go to a 18% Fair Tax. And you put some money into borders and military science.

[Sahibsocialist]

O Whoops im so stupid sry! you're dems created NAFTA

[b1gr1g]

I loved the video!

[cracks21229]

Great video. So true. NAFTA and WTO trade agreements are killing us. The party that promotes American manufactoring in a serious way will be the party of the future. I know the GOP won't do it, but do the Dems have the guts? Probably not.

[RomMechEng]

Duh, the dems put us here.

[Sahibsocialist]

Reagan created NAFTA not dems...

The truth regarding USA- you tube video clips to look at:

NAFTA: Ten Years of Broken Promises

Peru Free Trade Scam

THE CORRUPT UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT - PART 1-14

[deepbluephthalo]

I GET IT. So thanks for making this video for all of our American POLITICIANS. All members of the Senate and Congress. I'm just worried that it might not be simple enough. What do you think?

[OverlordJake]

I guess I'm a cynic on this issue. I think there are too many lobbyists who hold enough sway on this issue with congress that the truth doesn't matter, no matter how simply stated. I think that's why, even after NAFTA has been less then a success as originally proposed, there are still folks in congress trying to pass other free trade agreements with poor Latin and south American countries that don't seriously cover such issues as wage disparity, working conditions, and environmental concerns.

[nalejbank]

Join the Campaign for Liberty (.com) and help us restore liberty everywhere. This is a global movement and this is our rally point for the human race that wants to live in peace, freedom and prosperity. Thank you!

[DELTAIOS]

It is good to see some points against NAFTA specially when trades like really had improve Mexico.

Some Facts you should improve: A Worker in Mexico earns less than 5 $ a day (not 1.50 $/hr) in a normal journey of 8 hours.

in the United States people unemployment dont raise cause a stagnation in the surplus of exportation (in fact USA imports more from china than he exports).

The fact is that Mexico should grow and then the USA will have a grat partner.

PEACE

[OverlordJake]

These are by far the most insightful comments anyone has made on this video so far. Thank you very much for your comment.

[mrtanny]

how long is that going to flippin take, genius? 30 years?

[DELTAIOS]

Thank you for calling me Genius... It is hard to predict how long it would take, but i can say you what happened in the last 10 Years... Mexico is in fact the economy nr. 13 of the World... Industry sector has grown over 350 percent and it is hard to describe a country in a way of improvement which has a hard society. a lot of poor and some rich, but very rich mexicans not only in money they have the best education in America.. (some in Harvard).

I think Mexico will grow faster than you think

[MrTegenwoordig]

Yes Mexico is a great country but just for a few Mexicans.

[2cobber]

Let's see. NAFTA destroyed the American economy?  Oops. No, it was free trade with JAPAN that would wipe us out, back in the early 1990s. Oops. No, didn't happen. OH, it's trade with China. Right.

Let's just close our borders. But who will finance our debt? Hmm...

Our trade deficit would not be significant if we weren't wasting our resources on deficit SPENDING, primarily on the war in Iraq.

[FUZZYisBIG]

You make far too much sense.

[westonsz]

@2cobber

The government would not be in so much trouble if people were working and paying taxes to the federal treasury. Wages have sunk soo low that 47 percent don't even qualify to pay federal tax. For America to make it we have to lower the standards to that of a third world mud hole. Bright future eh?

[upyr1]

Commander Joe isn't made in Mexico it's worse

NAFTA must go.

[sswanick]

Um, GM making profits? What world do you live in?

[mongobobo]

the world of 1992.

[shirotensaki]

This is hilarious but also true and informative. Great video!

[chewbaca1989]

Mexicans not so poor if you own your own land?

[kirkifer]

Corn dumping.... HA HA HA, ROFLMAO

I get it, the kid asks something stupid like might be expected.

I think your video hits the point and illustrates the concepts well.

[kirkifer]

Barry Goldwater, Ross Perot, Ron Paul, C'mon we can not have only one person every 15 years who is willing to run for President or Congress to stop this junk.

[Cheyenne9686]

his name is RON PAUL.

[decker1233]

awesome! Bill/bill joke rocked! =)

Keep up the damn good job!!

[jgar6]

that was so cool! I thought it was really funny and it helped me understand NAFTA

[roy862007]

nice views on NAFTA and I agree with you completely.. although the cartoons are really stupid and completely not funny :p
