UNHOLLY ALLINANCE DESTROYING AMERICA

PART 1

We have an unholy alliance between many leaders of the Republican and Democratic Party who have sold out our Country to finance their campaigns to maintain power. This policy may help the stock market yet has hurt the average American family. They have pitted Small business and Middle Class America against overseas workers and illegal immigrants with limited rights.

Adam Smith the one of the fathers of the free market system in his Book Wealth of Nations (which is used most universities economics programs) talks about the right of workers to negotiate wages as a key principal in a free market economy.

Yet both Parties with the help of many bought and paid for economist never mention this principal when they talk about trade or immigration policy. Economist and Politicians act baffled as to why real wages are going backwards around the world as we do trade deals ( NAFTA, CAFTA WTO CHINA…) with Countries that have workers who are treated like slaves competing with Americans. They are even more surprised as to why wages would be hurt by an unlimited supply of workers (visa) legal and (Illegal immigrants) illegal with very few rights also pitted against Americans.

The only solution is real trade and immigration reform that does not over supply our Country with workers and pit Americans against overseas child and slave labor. What do you think?

    We do need to find a way to secure the income of Americans and if that means tightening our trade imbalances then so be it. Is there a comittee in the senate or a panel of some sort that adresses these issues in Congress?

    Yes, by all means BOTH parties are totally corrupted these days – here’s a little tid bid from California on the Democrat side: (And the link is after this excerpt)

    “Fabian Nunez is a political warrior in the Reconquesta movement, a group of angry brown men and women who believe that the southwestern United States still belongs to Mexico.

    Nunez and banditos of his ilk apparently have little or no regard for the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, which was ratified by both the United States and Mexican congresses in 1848. That treaty ended any and all claims that Mexico had to land now a part of the United States.

    Hispanic activists like Nunez also discount American sovereignty, borders, and immigration laws as racist barriers designed solely to keep “people of color” out of America. In his view, any Latino who wants to enter America is entitled to do so when and where he or she chooses—simply because he or she is brown.

    Has there ever been a more contemptible definition of racism?

    Unfortunately for California and its good people, Fabian Nunez has been installed as the Speaker of the California State Assembly. This coveted position was gifted to the Nunez by Democrats eager to snare the Hispanic vote, regardless of the impact on the Golden State.”

    Please note this Nunez is a powerful elected official. He has the power to make life miserable (take that in all possible ways) for those not part of his extended family. But yet, when I bring this little fact of reality up, I have to play constant defense, rather than us understanding the grave nature of the implications here and us taking the offense to save our nation as it was founded and became the great nation it was. We bicker with ourselves as “Nero fiddled while Rome burned”!

    We actually owe something to the Choctaws and the Cherokees. We shouldn’t allow a mass invasion of Incas, Aztecs, or Conquistadors.

  4. Bill says:

    Most of the problems today seem to be government-induced. And the solutions are usually divided in half by the power brokers.

  5. Hugh says:

    Bill, I’m guessing you’re a “Freeper” also. I sense that by your response #3.

    ps. I was purged from “Free Republic” some years ago after three days of postings. Their name makes no sense – they abhor comments that depart from their platform. And ps. their platform is not American!

  6. We need to stop the unholly allinance!

  7. JohnKonop says:

    How do we do that Brad?

  8. Bill says:

    No. Are you talking about free republic? I only come across them occasionally after “googling” something. I just don’t buy into the “La Raza” line making this a brown vs. White issue.

  9. JohnKonop says:

    BTW Adam Smith was very clear about rights of workers.

    The 18th century economist Adam Smith noted the imbalance in the rights of workers in regards to owners (or “masters”). In The Wealth of Nations, Book I, chapter 8, Smith wrote:

    We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate…
    [When workers combine,] masters… never cease to call aloud for the assistance of the civil magistrate, and the rigorous execution of those laws which have been enacted with so much severity against the combinations of servants, labourers, and journeymen.

    Japanese companies for the most part have avoided the labor vs. management divisions that we have in this country. Unlike in this country their brand of “Union busting” involves breaking down the barriers between the two with good relations.

  11. caroline says:

    Hugh,
    I can testify to the fact that Bill IS NOT a freeper. We’ve got plenty round here like eeevil but Bill isn’t one.

  12. Bill says:

    Hugh I just checked it out on wiki. Getting banned from there sounds fun. I never been banned before just kicked out of a few bars.

  13. Hugh says:

    Caroline, thanks for the input. Inasmuch as Bill isn’t a “Freeper”, I wonder what his problem is?

    And to Bill, does “wiki” mean wikipedia? But back to Free Republic, I consider it a badge of honor to be booted by that group of “@$#$^%#”. (had to clean it up a bit) Again, their moniker is a complete misnomer.

  14. Hugh says:

    Bill, re your posting #8:
    (and sorry I’m only getting to it now)

    You better take La Raza seriously. They are dead serious with their intentions! We are fools if we don’t start defending ourselves and our nation. It’s a numbers game, that simple. Once they have enough on their side, they will start making the rules – to their benefit, or more specifically, to our detriment! And their definition of “detriment” will vary as it’s carried out!

  15. Bill says:

    Hugh
    re: numbers game. So you want to play into the hands of La Raza and take on all native Americans and Spanish Americans? There’s plenty of LEGAL Spanish and Mexican Americans that are against illegal immigration.

  16. Bill says:

    John
    I guess what I was trying to say is you’ll be less likely to catch the CEO from Honda golfing with the CEO from Toyota than with the CEO’s from Ford and GM.

  17. David O'Rear says:

    Mr Konop,

    As I pointed out else where in the comments, . . .

    “Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate…”

    “Actual rate” is the market (or, market-clearing) rate, not some artifical rate decided by bureaucrats or lawmakers.
