(12,164 posts)Well I'll tell you what, I don't need Bernie to tell me, nor do I need you to tell me, nor do I need "politifact.com" to tell me, that NAFTA has torn this country up. I haven't worked in factories in my life, but there was a hell of allot of American citizens working in them throughout this country, and mostly the midwest. Their lives have been turned upside down by NAFTA.
And you know... that whole "New World Order" trade thing back in the late 80s/early 90s was never voted on by the American people. We were never privy to what was going to happen down the road, but for what spilled out of Ross Perot's mouth in a debate.
What gives TPTB the right to make decisions that are going to be harmful to it's citizens in the future? WTF is going on in this country, anyway?
Decisions by TPTB seem to affect our lives from the cradle to the grave. Why don't we have an election to bring that kind of system to a stop? To have a society here in which The People make the decisions, not TPTB?
