PS---Keep in mind that you can download the first hour of The Young Turks free every day through Itunes. Also, the show loops 24 hours a day at www.theyoungturks.com and runs live M-F from 9-11pm EST, with a post game show (politics with entertainment and current events) starting at 11pm.

2. "they're doing great on the capitalist side..."??

I guess. When you pay your labor force wages of $0.35 an hour or less....you should be able to do pretty well on the "capitalist side".

I know he didn't mean to dive into that phrase...but I am appalled that we even allow any of that crap from China to enter the US. As long as we compete with countries with the $0.35 an hour labor force, we are going to go down quicker that a two ton rock.

Where does it stop?? How long are we going to continue this "free trade" bull shit, so the corps can continue to sell their goods from a $0.35 labor force on our markets to compete with our goods??

Nutsville.

3. I understand your point

And it's true, there is a very high cost to "free" trade.

5. Kinda like how a million people couldn't get permission to protest in Central Park.
