2) Free Market (Free Trade) Capitalism is not the American System of Economy. Free Market Capitalism "GLOBALIZATION" is destroying the world. Why? Because it is Imperialism! We need to go back to the American System of Economy. We need to get all our industries back. We need lots & lots of productive jobs, well paid Workers and opportunitys for small Business Entrepreneurs like we had under FDR Leadership. Back to basics. Globalization has Failed !

Google "Lyn Marcus the Second Coming of Leon Trotsky" to see what kind of man Lyndon LaRouche really is. In this little pamphlet Lyndon wrote, he compares Leon Trotsky to Jesus Christ.

Lyn Marcus was Lyndon LaRouche's name when he was a leader in the SWP (Socialist Workers Party).

Lyndon is only interested in what creates more power and money for Lyndon.

Nafta sent our manufacturing jobs to Mexico thanks to Bill & Al with Hillary's help. The China Free Trade agreement galvanized and guranteed our American jobs would be sent to China, Korea, India, etc. Now our middle class is dissolving into 1 lower class and nobody in Washington seems to give a shit. When will thse numbskulls wake up and do something about it? Over 100 years of automotive manufacturing technology sent overseas. We are screwed royal my American friends.

@AroundSun What we had before "free trade" is what made us a superpower. And that was tariffs on imports and anti-dumping laws. And the market is ours. If you wish to subvert it, we have a right to defend it and eventually will. At that point where do you suppose your verbal vomit will get you?

Who the "jobs" belong to is a moot point. The market belongs to us. I'm sure you have some nonsensical misdirection for that statement too?

[AroundSun]

@havoc092 Oh, you are one of these 'they tooker jobs' guys. You want tariffs on imports and subsidies on exports. That isn't free trade. You are dumb....BTW, those 'jobs' aren't YOURS. They don't belong to you. You don't have ownership over someone elses entity or labor.

[havoc092]

@AroundSun I'm against subverting the economy. And I'm against what you call "Free trade." It's cost us 1/3 of the nations jobs at this point. If destroying the US is your idea of prosperity, then perhaps we need to deal with you as well as with the politicians. And you can't be this stupid.

@havoc092 "Free trade is what King George used in an attempt to destroy the colonial economy"

LMAO....I still don't know if you are for or against free trading...

[havoc092]

@AroundSun It isn't revisionist history. It isn't a huge secret either. It might be to socialists who don't get why the colonists revolted when the King lowered taxes. Pretty simple. When the King's goods are cheaper than yours on everything you can produce, the king runs you out of your own market - thus stopping you from amassing wealth. That's what we went to war over - the King's attempt to destroy us all economically for his own enrichment. Go back to school.

@KaraokeJerry The USA threw large tariffs on Canadian lumber. Now the USA pays a hell of alot more for said lumber. Try it with Canadian oil to the same extent.

Sounds like a flip flop to me. Ron Paul has been saying for years that protectionism is a mistake. What exactly does he plan to do if not invoke protectionism? The horse is already out of the bar on the free trade agreements -they are already signed. Does he want to pull out? Does he plan to use tariffs or import quotas or what? I don't hear any consistency here

Free Trade promotes peace as well as better global living conditions. Because of Global trade we made ourselves even more productive jobs. We should have no tariffs or subsidies. its funny that Liberals like to support corporations, and bash them at the same time.

@bestwayusa1 That is the thing with you liberals. You would rather the poor be poorer granted the rich were less rich. You would rather see people starve and die than work and save. You want everyone to be equally poor, it's disgusting. My grandmother worked as a "wage slave" in a factory. She was able to save enough money and increase her job skills. We stand on their shoulders. We are outsourcing our old shitty jobs from the late 1800's. Making airplanes instead of t-shirts. OH NO
