This is why globalism is garbage for everyone except the ones on top. Why would a company pay Americans $20 per hour to make things when they can pay Mexicans $5 per hour?

So what was our system before WWI when over 50% of tax revenues came from tariffs? Was that socialist?

Welcome to Capitalism meets Globalization why would i pay an american a decent wage when i can find poor people in other countries willing to work for almost nothing . Meanwhile the CEO of most car companies make 300% more than their regular employee Greed at it's finest . I for one boycott bullshit corporations and if everyone would do the same these corporations couldn't survive . I haven't bought anything from Disney or Nike in over 20 years i always try to buy stuff made in my own country .

NAFTA started it. TPP was just like the needle that broke the haystack. And everyone said the protests for NAFTA were silly. It was only a matter of time.
It's not free trade, it's just sourcing labor to slaves in countries that pretend they are not slaves. Oh we pay them.......12 cents an hour.

This is why free trade doesn't benefit the United States and we need to go back to using tariffs

So basically it's Sanders or Trump or you potentially lose your job to China/Mexico.

Sanders won't lower our absurd corporate tax rate of 35% so it's only Trump
