The current brand of globalization works only for the ruling elites and the super rich. Where are the protections for the middle class and lower class Americans? Why don't those American companies that move outside the US have to pay a tarrif on their products that they import back into the US? Maybe they'd think twice before they moved outside the US? 3.5 million jobs lost to outsourcing? Did the most corrupt fed gov in US history analyse the long term effects to this country of allowing major outsourcing before they bent over for the super rich, or were they just bought off handsomely by the legions of lobbyists so that whichever CEO stood to gain made his maximum compensation?

So as soon as low skilled Americans are reduced to being as desperate as illegal Mexican scabs they'll start jumping on those scraps tossed down to them by the super rich and in the end be just as fine as those same desperate illegal Mexican scabs? Gotcha.
