(17,301 posts)You are quoting the "free" Traders and Neoliberals. (Yes, it is a real thing and your statement that you don't know what it is shows how little you understand.)
Everything you just said can be found being repeated often at Wall Street banks like Morgan Stanley and on the corporate media.
Yes the crazy right wing has managed to, yet again, jump on an issue that appeals to the average person while liberals are all saying what you are saying. It's like the immigration issue. Liberals are suppose to be for labor and unions yet the more poor and hungry immigrants you let into your country, the more wages drop, the fewer jobs available for low income workers. True building a stupid wall will never solve anything what will solve the problem is huge fines and prison time for illegal Employers. But of course this would upset the rich.
So the right wing crazies say look those foreign people who look different are taking your jobs and causing wages to plummet. You should hate them. While at the same time the right wing crazies are taking money from all those illegal employers who only very rarely are held accountable. And if we keep them illegal, then the rich can exploit them even more.
Look the EU did NOTHING to stop the economic crash. It instead shoved austerity down the people's throat and crashed Greece. In a heartless loans uber all maneuver they made one of the poorest nations in Europe pay through the nose.
The EU also makes it easier for uber rich multinational corporations and banks to control countries. It allows banks and corporations to pay off a handful of EU leaders to control most of Europe.
Liberals have differing opinions on immigration and they have differing opinions on the EU. You can have another opinion of EU and still be a liberal. We are Democrats and NOT RepubliCONS we don't have to march in lockstep.
