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.
