They say it is American demanding too much pay, pensions, and health coverage. You remember what those things were doncha? During the 50s 60s and into the seventies American's dollars were worth something. Anybody that wanted a job. Kids in high school were buying new cars with part time jobs. Along in the late 60s all of a sudden Germans and others came over and saw Americans as ripe for picking. I don't remember the colorful language one German used. he was head of the Retail Gasoline Dealers Association. America had thee wealth and the Globalists saw it and went about manipulating government and so forth. Now we have one dollar one vote by Global Corporations. They make their money here from Americans in America but pay no taxes to support the Republic. We subsidize and promote shipping our Production, Jobs, Economy and our Kids and Republic's future off shore for their benefit. They are bringing in Illegal Aliens and legal Aliens to divide the population. A unified populace is not so able to be lied to and manipulated. They don't like that plus they like cheap labor that drives down Americans wages and benefits and pensions and all the rest. Their welfare drives up our taxes and stresses our resources driving up food and energy in a continuing upward spiral. Leveling the global playing field for global trade and global governance means devaluing the dollar the holy mantra of Wall Street and Brussels, London and elsewhere since Jimmy Carter and before. It never was about an altruistic spreading the wealth around the world to turn the Bushmen of the Sub Sahara and everybody else into a prosperous McMansion owner with two Cadillac in the garage. In addition we have the socialist agenda who like the European model just fine of limited mobility, high energy prices, high food prices and high taxes. The Brussels Global governance bunch think America has had it too easy and has too much of the worlds resources and lives too high on the hog. They want to force a more 'sustainable existence" on America and share our wealth with them or more specifically their subjects. They have no intention of giving up their assumed positions of the Global Economic Elites or Royalty. And there are more digging in our pockets and destroying our sovereignty and future for their wealth and power. China sees that their success has reached a point where they can jump in with both feet militarily and the economic markets to not only take our wealth but the worlds and dominate and dictate the access to the seas and operate America and others as resource colonies and impose their rule. What id you think of their intent to build autonomous cities in Iowa and elsewhere to over see their great foe and newest colony? What do you think of Mexico's conquest by occupation? Take their poor and criminals so their Wealth Elites can continue their ways of plenty of money in Mexico in very feww hands and the rest of the population in poverty. That's were they're herding us the Global Ruling Investors and the Serfs. Di I leave anybody out? America was for sale. Is Congress and Administrations ashamed? Hell no they keep wanting to put ribbons on the Global Economy pig so we will think it grand as we stand in soup lines Apparently they don't ride horses, in DC or they would know to dismount the horse once they realize it is dead. The Global Economy sake wrecking America is treason. The horse is dead Americans see it. Is Washington still in the saddle?
