Find out what are viewers have to say. Now Panetta announced troop withdrawal in Afghanistan. Why do you think the US chose to announce that the combat mission in Afghanistan would end a full year before it was planned to?

@njanovic I believe most of the neo-liberals have sit in the classroom just long enough to have every morsel of common sense trained out of them. How could anyone actually believe that American workers should be placed in direct competition with third world labor. They actually believe that america should become third world. Their heroes are those who make money off money, they make nothing useful for society, their purpose is to gain more and more wealth for themselves. The Gorden Gekko types.

@louiethegreater Just saw a report on the news tonight about Foxconn using child labor. Apparently that other guy you had the exchange with thinks a person's life is only worth as much or as little as their bank account. The high end of the Mac Pro desktop cost around $3,000. I wonder how much it actually cost them to make that? It's a shame and such a contridiction for me as I prefer Mac OS over Windows and work w/ a lot of graphics so Mac software is better for that...but.

[njanovic1980]

@louiethegreater Yes, Foxconn is correct. That guy you had the exchange with in a nutcase. Like any fanatic he can't have a rational exchange of ideas. You disagree & he goes nuts, yet accuses others of mental problems. I wish every one in the world well, but my first priority is the well being of my own country, as is the case w/ other people in their own countries as well. There's nothing wrong with some protectionism. Hell, China places a tariff on US goods imported into China.

@njanovic1980 Thanks for you acknowledging the facts njanovic. Yes I heard in on the news , I believe the companies name is Foxconn Technology Group. They are a Chinese company that has one million employees who work long hours under the most adverse conditions. They are usually young women who live in dorms, five to a room.

@louiethegreater Did you know that one of Apple's suppliers in China has had a few employees commit suicide at the work site by jumping from windows? That's how bad the working conditions are at that particular place. People this that idiot you were trading comments with would happily turn the US into such a place as well. The average US wage has been on a downward slide for the last 3 decades or so. He's a know nothing. He can't even have a rational exchange.

@sani Hey, did you know that Apple computer via Steve Jobs created 200,000 to 250,000 jobs in China. However Apple only employed 47,000 in the U.S. All of them low paying jobs in retail or the service sector.

How do you figure that every job created in China creates one in the U.S. This is just another example of how dense and ignorant you are.

You should be aware that Protectionist Capitalism and union activity created the american middle class, and you are probably a product of that class.

[louiethegreater]

@sanit NO, NO moron traitorous pig, I am a protectionist capitalist, you are a laissez-faire capitalist who does not hold loyalties to any country. You world eagerly trade your american citizenship for a global one. You are saying Alexander Hamilton who passed the first tariff laws in 1789, thirteen years after he signed the constitution. Wow do you stay up nights dreaming this stuff up. Did you dream that Hamilton and Washington didn't want a country, WELL to be expected from a traitorous pig.

@louiethegreater

Capitalism: Social system based on private property, freedom and voluntary exchange.

Protectionism: Social system based on terrorism and retarding voluntary exchange, in order to prevent competition so that some special interest group of incompetents can extract extortion prices at the expense of the general public. See also, patents, copyright, tariffs, etc.

You're schizophrenic. These two things are not compatible. They are polar opposites.

@louiethegreater

"protectionist capitalist" is an oxymoron. The fact that you believe that there is such a thing is again a symptom of your schizophrenia, as oxymorons only exist in hallucinations. Capitalism is about freedom. Tarriffs are anti-freedom and jingoistic nationalistic fantasies. Goverment is the opposite of capitalism. There is no such thing as a capitalist country. You can either have capitalism or a country, but you cannot have both.

@louiethegreater i knew something like that, but now that youve told me yes i do know.
