the corporations pay not enough taxs and the little guy pay too much taxs. you can not keep your house and pay all your bills on $8.00 per hr, than what can you do?????

This is true. I can't help but think that Herman Cain 9-9-9 tax plan sounds good! Warren Buffet evens says that the millionaires should pay more taxes & that he can't understand why his secretary pays more in taxes than he does.

Check again! NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) has nothing to do with China or Clinton or Obama. I believe it was signed into law by George HW Bush.

I love how you jump from NAFTA to China to the Dems all in one post. Are you purposely trying to mislead people or just grossly misinformed?

Prove me wrong.

You always charge in to tell me how wrong I am and you never have anything but your own baseless opinion to back up your accusation. Then I provide proof to support my statement and you diappear rather than admitting you were just spouting off and had no idea what you are talking about.

Not this time. Not wasting my time. You accuse me of being misleading. PROVE ME WRONG. I dare you.

EDIT: Oh, and just like you liberals like to discredit sources because they are conservative, the same applies to you. No using sources by idiot liberals who also don't know how to use facts to support their statements.

Of course not everything can come from America such as componets & some raw materials but everything made in China isn't from China either but if I can buy a product that is finished in an American manufacturing plant is good to me. If we could have everything we need from start to finish a product then there would be no need for Global Trade right? So for me I WILL continue to buy things labeled Made in U.S.A.. FYI our sportscards are made in America so thanks for buying!!

Well, technically I only buy "made in America" cars. I have Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans...;)

At 8.00 an hour you probably shouldn't have a house. Raise the taxes of all the corporations and lmk what happens. Some things need to change, I agree. But probably not what you are suggesting.

I'd bet she doesn't pay more. But I'd be for looking at Cains plan for sure.

not to stick up for clinton, but I think it was bush and obama that were in office during the most noted bail outs/TARP plans.

I wasn't saying that Clinton initiated TARP/ARRA funding. Clinton did NAFTA and China, Obama bears the responsibility for the trillions invested in ARRA.

With that said, the TARP program that GWB signed back in 2008 had an original estimated budget of $300 billion and came in at around an actual $245 billion, $179 billion of which has already been paid back to the Fed. So if the Wall Street thing is over the remaining $66 billion from the Bush TARP bailout then that is a lot of hoopla over a small amount of money (compared to what the government spends/waste regularly).

Also, considering Obama is the guy who said that he was going to fix everything and create jobs why is it that these Wall Street people have no issue with him?

It's quite hypocritical to blame the outsourcing of jobs on corporate greed. We as consumers demand lower prices. Because of this, companies must outsource jobs to maintain competitiveness in the marketplace. If you want to complain about the outsourcing of American jobs, I suggest that only buy goods and services made in America, regardless of the cost. Otherwise, your complaint isn't really about principle, it's about politics.

Nice attempt at distracting. I know what NAFTA is. I do not need to prove anything. LOOK IT UP for yourself!!! Or are you AFRAID to find out yourself. It has nothing to do with CHINA.

And what sources am I discrediting?? Did you provide a source? Are you the SOURCE?

A little further expansion on where my "misleading" idea that Obama has hurt American companies with his international trade deals and policies.

A part of Obama's ARRA package included the "Buy America" provision which required that all government ARRA contracts use American made products for construction. Sounds good. Then the Canadians complained. It seems that if our contractors bought American made products then it would hurt the Canadian economy (NAFTA anyone?). So Obama did the "right thing" and signed an exemption agreement that protected the Canadian businesses and economy.

So let me make sure I clarify for those who miss the obvious...

A portion of ARRA funds, which are supposed to help America recover (American Recovery & Reinvestment Act) are actually being used to buy Canadian products and support the Canadian economy thanks to Obama's pacifying exemption.

I am fully aware that NAFTA and China are not related. You came up with that all on your own. I never said that.

If you actually read my post instead of doing the GBM thing and stop twisting what people say into something they didn't say then you would see that.
