[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1614184, member: 10001"] I know a pretty young lady who used to clean bathrooms. Never complained, always with a smile. She was promoted to supply services, more money, better work. A minimum wage job is a lot more honorable than somebody sitting on his ass and collecting the money others earned. You are right, the government's job is to create a good business environment and stay out of the way. Right now the government is only responsive to lobbies. I see a lot of problems with "free trade", it doesn't work. Look around you, you'll see the results. The name sounds great and there are some good aspects about it, OTOH when it is obvious that the end result is bad, when the jobs leave and the country goes down the drain, change is needed. We cannot compete with child labor, extremely low wages, lack of environmental regulations etc. Foreigners don't have a right to our markets. Products are cheaper but in the long run too expensive if the price is the destruction of our economy. We tried it, it didn't work. A nation is a lot more than that. It is a group of people united by history, culture, language, way of life, even religion, with common interests and the commitment to stand by each other. [/QUOTE]
