NAFTA Mike / Strikebreakers / The Merger

[GIJose84]

as a mexican, the bad thing is that not all the jobs are being outsource to mexico, but to india and china and other countries

[Crifox]

Dr. Jan itor!

[kimpunkrock]

while I respect Michael Moore, he made real important issues that border on treason for people like Clinton (NAFTA) and made it into a joke. we laugh all while we now do NOTHING about these issues because hey now their funny. alex jones is right about Moore, period.

[JTfromSTL]

43 Liberal morons would sell their soul to the devil to suck Mike's shrinky-dink...

[tomitstube]

@JTfromSTL ~ we've got a jeep job for you in mexico you fascist jackass. $3.70 an hour with no medical. fucking moron.

[LouieArrighi]

@tomitstube JTfromStLOuis is just another jackass who believes in freedumb, because he's an idiot who can't think for himself. probably a Ron PaulBOT who wants freedom for the multinationals and fascist politicians who get paid off to outsource to fuk us over.

[tomitstube]

@LouieArrighi ~ what i was thinking, i don't doubt the cock brothers, karl "potato head" rove, the cato institute, the heritage foundation, etc. etc. spend millions to flood public sites with their corporate garbage.

what these fascists promote isn't even remotely a "free market", it's a corporate market that pushes people into poverty for a bigger corporate piece of the pie, they're actually anti-free market, and if you ask me, anti-american.

[kimpunkrock]

@LouieArrighi u know nothing about Ron Paul, who has fought outsourcing and is not a fascist but hey I bet u are too lazy to actually look into what Ron Paul says. Go and do some research into what he says and what he does before u even answer back, if that is u can.

Four close-minded republican tards saw this video.

[Chalax92]

oh btw i know the guy at 11:37 haha

[Chalax92]

i hate this kind of videos where they only show the ugly things about my country Mexico...

Im sure everyone would think "I want to go to Mexico" if they showed the beautiful things about it more often... sigh

[SORRYYOUREWRONGGUY]

Don't you guys realize that government and Business have colluded since the days of Alexander Hamilton? Neither government nor business is the answer to our economic struggles as a people. This is the inherit flaw with capitalism, that Ethics, Sustainability, and Rights of the People take a backseat to outsourcing, imperialism in poor countries with a cheap labor source, and a mockery of governance that the Media has displayed with this circus act of two factions in a constant struggle 4 nothing

A democrat signed the NAFTA bill into law. Obama has made it stronger .

[Slayerfan84]

Nice, thank you Michael!

[simontimon2]

Michael Moore is but a different form of racist, because he wants to keep white jobs in white america. What he doesn't want is people of different colour from other countries to take white jobs.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 when has he said that? i'm pretty sure he wants American jobs to stay in the US, not mattering what race the person is.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 That is racist, to think that american race is some how different to other races so that's it is the reason to prevent Jobs from spreading around. Is hidden racism.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no, it's not racist, because technically, American is a nationality, not an ethnic race, and also, you are completely misinformed on why America doesn't want to send jobs outside of the country, if we do send jobs outside of the country, then that will hurt our economy, and our people won't have any work. that's why, not because of race, it's because of economics.

[simontimon2]

It benfits world by speading jobs around. It helps Poor africans by giving them jobs that enables them not to starve to death.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 the jobs don't even go to africa, they go to places where there are already jobs. we'll be the ones who are starving to death because we won't have jobs. it won't benefit the world, it will help a few countries, but it will hurt us. sending jobs to other countries is NOT a good thing. why is this so complicated to you? what part do you not understand? it will not be good for us if we do so, it won't benefit anyone but greedy CEOs. it's not a good thing. its a basic fact.

[simontimon2]

this perfectly explains my argument

/watch?v=Z9csCerjfdE

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no it doesn't. first of all, this has nothing to do with race, which is a huge part of your argument, second, we are in a recession, there hasn't been anything this bad since the great depression. we cannot afford to lose anymore jobs. we have lost thousands of them already. it is not helping us, it is HURTING. this is so simple! how old are you? you don't seem to know much about economics, it's is a basic fact that sending jobs to foreign countries is NOT good.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 The great depression of the 1930's was caused by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. because dumasses like you thought it was a good idea to put a 50% tariff on all importes. The Idea was that it would prevent jobs from leaving the country. Well guess what it didn't work! unempoyment tripled and it stayed that way for a decade.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 i'm a dumbass? you don't even know anything about economics!! LOL who thinks its a good idea for jobs to leave the country? no one, but idiots! and fyi, there were several causes of the great depression, such as the stock market crash of 1929, bank failures, reduction in purchases, and indirectly, drought conditions in the Mississippi Valley (the area was important in agriculture). also, i am a Democrat. The tariff was passed and signed by President Hoover, a Republican. LOL idiot

[simontimon2]

It was the smoot-Hawley tariff that turned it from a recession to a depression.

I never said I was a republican. I'm a member of the Libertarian party.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no, you are mixing this up. you said that "dumbasses' like me "thought it was a good idea to put a 50% tariff on all imports", when in fact, it was republicans who did that, and i am in the opposing party, so it was not people like me.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 That doesn't change anything, because your arguing for the same action.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no i'm not. i'm trying to explain to you why exporting jobs is bad. this is just a simple fact about economics. and i'm trying to explain to you how michael moore not wanting jobs to leave the country is not "racist". you said earlier, "Michael Moore is but a different form of racist, because he wants to keep white jobs in white america'. he never said anything about race, he was just saying it's not good, and it is not good. i didn't say anything else.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 Exporting jobs is good for the economy, because you also end importing more jobs then you lose. Since the creation of NAFTA 26 million jobs where created and 6 million where lost. With free trade you end up with net job profit.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no! where did you get that idea? outsourcing jobs does NOT help! we wouldn't gain jobs, we would lose them. how would we gain jobs by losing them? that doesn't make any sense.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 Well then, whats your solution? because so far you've done nothing complain.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 solution to what? all you said is that outsourcing jobs is "good" and that Michael Moore was racist because he didn't want jobs to leave the country. I was trying to explain to you how completely untrue that was. you didn't propose any problem.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 Well then, if you think its such a grave problem then what solution to outsourcing?

insted of complaining about it.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 i'm not complaining. i was trying to explain how outsourcing jobs is not good. oh my gosh, do you even read your own comments? *face palm*

i am in favor of not giving tax cuts to companies that outsource jobs, but give it to those who keep the jobs here. it was a bill proposed about a week or two ago but it was fillibustered by Republicans..

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 What's the difference between outsourcing and new technologies that eliminate job.

Since far more job have been eleminated by machine then by outsourcing.

Manufacturing in the US is higher then it's ever been, its just that machines do all the work instead of people.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 so that's another reason why outsourcing is bad. we need to keep all of the jobs we can. outsourcing doesn't help.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 also, you need people to make the machines. so it would help somewhat...

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 You don't get the point I make. If you make the argument that outsourcing is bad, then you also validate that machinery is also bad.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no, how old are you? 10? you know almost nothing about economics. i just said that it is bad in some ways because it would replace a person, but you need people to make the machines. so you lose a job and then gain a job. its neutral. and fyi, it's a fact that outsourcing is bad. you must have some serious problems if you think its good......

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 I know enough about economic to have become wealthy off of it.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 ok sure.......

the only way you could have become wealthy by outsourcing jobs is either you're the person outsourcing them, or you live in a country where jobs are being sent. no wonder why you defend outsourcing jobs.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 I am wealthy because I work in a jade mine in Northern Canada. Where I maintain the mashinery that carries the jade from the mountain top were it's mined.

I say outsourcing is good because China has outsourced practically all of it's jade mining to Canada. Creating employing that otherwise wouldn't be there if it weren't for outsourcing.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 well that wouldn't really effect china, because there are a lot more jobs going to china then leaving. it may create employing for you, but a jade miner in china would probably lose his jobs. like i said, it only benefits people who own companies or the country where jobs are being sent.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 listen it's call progress, get used to it! nothing gona stop it.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 its not progress! its hurting us!! that is not progress and we can stop it. we can stop it by not giving benefits to companies that outsource jobs, we can do plenty of things to stop it.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 people like you where making the same argument a 100 years ago, when it was the US that everyone was outsourcing to. It's still called progess, and not giving certain companies benifites is only gonna encourage companies to leave.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 no its not. if they are american companies, then america would be the ones giving them benefits, if we take that away if the outsource, then they won't outsource. its just one way. its not progress for us though. it might be for greedy CEOs and the countries where jobs are ebing outsource, but its not for us. thats the thing i am trying to tell you is bad. what don't you get????

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 i don't understand logic? you're the one who has no idea what you are talking about. if jobs are outsourced to another country, then that would hurt us, not help us, because people would lose their jobs. see how that works?

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 Your the same kind of people that believe free trade is bad. Well then whats wrong with free trade in employment.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 now you are getting irrational. i never said anything about free trade, NAFTA, or anything else, all i talked about was outsourcing jobs, so you need to just shut up and actually learn about outsourcing because no one who had common sense would support outsourcing jobs when the jobs are leaving their country unless they own the coperation outsourcing the jobs.

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 If you create laws and regulations that stop outsoucing. You'll unintentionaly stop insoucring since 5 million americans get their paychecks from foreign firms.

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 you keep assuming. i never said any of those things and yet you say that i want people to lose their jobs. i never said about a law banning it, i said about a law not giving benefits to companies that outsource. nothing about jobs coming, just jobs going out. you seriously need to read my comments. you're making yourself look like you know nothing....

[simontimon2]

@bluedog454 Yah like government great at runningthe economy. Why don't you check out public housing, public school, and Fema.

Puting the government in charge of the economy is like puting rosie o'donald in charge of your last doughnut!

[bluedog454]

@simontimon2 you're such a fucking idiot. i never said put the government in charge. quote me. but wait, you can't, because that's just something you made up. you so stupid. i was talking about benefits for companies and who we should give them to. not about government control you dumbass. how old are you? you seriously know nothing.

[Slayerfan84]

A quote from former Rep Alan Grayson, "Don't hate Government cause you are bad at it"!

[hkpho0ey]

Funny thing is one of the companies my wife supplies is a famous American clothing brand. It as just closed it's Mexican production and moved everything to Hong Kong due to the increasing violence.

So assume other companies will now move the jobs back to the US or more likely China. Well at least Moore will be happy. No more Mexicans taking American jobs at least not in Mexico.

[heavenshaffer]

If all the Jobs are going into Mexico, why the hell do they keep coming here?

[bluedog454]

@heavenshaffer most probably come here for better wages, shorter working hours, and better conditions.

[heavenshaffer]

PDRT!!!!!!!!!!!

[lanceat1]

Moore is so up him self.

[mrklp]

I love how he talks about the union's victory over General Motors. Little did he know back in 1999 when this show was made what that victory would eventually do to GM and the union workers who were employed there.

[shavimusha]

@mrklp i am not in any way union supporter i am self employed contractor for big giant corporation so i am exact oposite of union but GM going down had nothing to do with union it was more like Pontiac aztec and Chevy malibu maxx and awful Cady catera when i am looking at that cars i feel like they built them by custom order for Enterprise rent a car or Hertz Germans have almost communist government and union that GM s union cant even come close to but MB and BMW did not go belly up !

[mrklp]

@shavimusha You don't know what you're talking about. GM was still the #2 company, selling more cars than most other car companies combined. There was plenty of demand for their products, but demand means nothing when you're losing money on each vehicle you sell.

Bottom line: GM's profit margins went negative because it cost them more to manufacture each car than it did for their non-union Japanese competitors.

The ironic thing is back in 1999 GM was hiring people in the Detroit area plants. now there's only about 10 plants open out of the over 200 that were in Michigan........!

Why dont u tell the whole truth about the "sit down" strike at gm, that they used violence an over 100 people were killed because of the strike. u neglected to tell that part of it. u have half truths ans partial facts, u are a predator of the people that are uneducated of the whole facts. in fact u are one of the rich trying to get richer, u are a fraud moore

@buddymac201

How can "u" accuse someone of being uneducated, when you can't even use proper punctuation?

[Mczar48]

"Grammar"...

[buddymac201]

@Mczar48 first of all punctuation is commas periods etc...... and if that is all you have to bitch about go get a life moron.

[Mczar48]

@buddymac201

That's why the second comment, posted 2 seconds later (which i know you read) says "Grammar". Nice Try though.

[remotehog1]

i guess the only solution is a one world government that way everyone has to follow the same rules, a world wide minimum wage?.

[remotehog1]

they pay mexicans 35 bucks a week, instead of paying americans 600 bucks a week,you would think the mexicans would realise that they could get alot more if they negotiated. hey amigo's wake up!.

[nonameposter]

Then they would just go somewhere else. Without international solidarity, things are very hard in an international economy

[Smackerlacker1]

@remotehog1 They can't afford to do that. There are millions of people in Mexico who would kill for a $35 weekly wage. And I don't think unions are legal in Mexico, but I could be mistaken. Even if they did strike, the company would just hire a whole batch of new employees. Besides, $35 a week is a really excellent wage in Mexico. Most people there don't make that much in a month.

[sawiniful]

smart man.

[Jessecraft1954]

These people cheat Mexican people and it's all about rich people becoming richer from lying, betraying and cheating people. Mexicans deserve just as much per hour as Americans received for the same jobs. It's all about the rich becoming richer. Welcome to slavery 101

Ilegal aliens do take American jobs. Try doing dry walling in LA. You can't if your an American. An illegal is doing the same job 100 times cheaper and not paying any taxes. True story.

[Kingkillla21]

True story indeed my friend, i live one east coast and its the same deal out here, its bullshit theirs about 100 of them in the mornings standing out side 7-11 waiting for someone to pick them up illegally for work, worst of all the cops do NOthing, sicking isnt it.

[dumbassfer23]

actually they do pay some taxes when they shop the charged taxes

[mari0velle]

@shoogie06 walling, really? why don't you go back to school, get a job that wont kill you... what are you gonna complain about next? how you can't get a job being a maid 'cause all the filipino ladies have taken them? Loser.
