Dear globalists, allow me to explain why Americans are rebelling en masse against you [View all]

[Zalatix]

Those of you who know someone who extols globalism... feel free to tell 'em this.

Attitudes about free trade are all turning for the worse - among Democrats, Independents and Republicans, support is literally dying, rotting off the bone no less. And the more opposition grows, the louder the globalist-supporting minority gets. Problem is, reality is closing in like quicksand, and the more globalists struggle, the worse their standing is getting.

So... why is this happening? It should be obvious.

Every change that is brought about by globalism, every new industry, every move by global corporations, results in more discrimination against American workers. Far more jobs are leaving the country than are coming in. Americans are being systematically locked out of the global job market. Few if any companies ever say, "We're moving jobs to America". (I'm sure there's 1 or 2 out there, of course.)

When America was (well, still is) the world's market for goods, they sent jobs out of the country to produce goods for America.

Yet now that China is becoming a rising market for goods, American workers are still being excluded from jobs that cater to that market. (That is, unless you're a chicken farmer.)

H1B programs are being abused to bring in foreign workers specifically to replace American workers.

And globalists wonder why they're doing double overtime to defend free trade?

Those who argue that American workers are not being outright excluded from the global market should stop for a moment to ask themselves why America's trade deficit is so high. How high?

$497 billion, of which $252 billion was oil. That's a $245 billion trade deficit if you factor out oil.

Globalists continue to try to lecture America about the evils of tariffs. Prices will go up. Trade will go down. Aside from the fact that trade went down only a little more than the nation's GDP went down during the years of Smoot-Hawley, there is another problem with this phobia against tariffs:

Prices will go up, as a direct result of globalism. Not only that, but globalism is responsible for the continued devaluation of the dollar. This much is understood by the experts: http://www.frbsf.org/education/activities/drecon/1999/9910.html

Globalism also contributes to the national debt. Particularly, the foreign-held portion. This is all known facts among those who know economics:

The global economy is rigged to discriminate against Americans. The trade deficit screams that fact quite loudly. The H1B scandals scream that quite loudly.

This is why America is rebelling against globalism. It is human nature to rebel against that which discriminates against you.

Welcome to reality.
