why pay for skilled labor when you can get slave labor for free. That is what the tea party people want.
This just in!!! Businesses are out to make money.
This also just in. Business will pay top dollar for good highly skilled labor.
no this is what happens in 3rd world shitholes has nothing to do with unions
The problem with these claims that only unions protect us is that our culture has changed greatly in the last century, and there is no evidence to suggest that it will change back to chained slaves working 100 hours a week without unions. The changes are now self-sustaining.
The majority of citizens support a reasonable level of worker safety, some kind of minimum wage, outlawing child labor, and other gains that unions made long ago. Republicans push for lower levels of safety (calling regulations too burdensome) and fight for a lower minimum wage, but they know they can't remove them entirely.
And finally, If you think for one second this will happen again in America you've got to turn off guilty pleasure news, and stop reading huffpo, and go outside and get some fresh air. Enjoy some life and stop living in fear. None of this is going to happen, and if it did, there'd be a violent revolution.
The libertarians in this thread remind me of the black who fought on the side of the confederate during the civil war. They are fighting for their own enslavement. It is sad really.

If ignorance is bliss, then you are in heaven.
Like the businesses that laid off Americans and moved their production to China? Or the businesses that lay off American engineers in order to hire less expensive foreigners on H-1B and L-1 visas?
Because American made products can't compete price wise and you can't sell the stuff. People need to stop buying Chinese made garbage.
Western companies including those in the U.S need to stop going to China and enslaving their people.
but not the brainwashed American sheeple.
I don't know any sane person who doesn't equate a bunch of greedy mobsters with the law - in general that is.LOL.
Where is your logic (if any) in that? Are you trying to equate a bunch of greedy mobsters with the law?
Problem is, the Republicans' and Tea Partiers' economic policies of exposing us to global labor arbitrage (free trade, H-1B and L-1 visas, and mass immigration) combined with support for population explosion will eventually transform us into one of those third world shitholes. The transformation is happening right now.
LMAO, you think those things belong to Republicans and the Tea Party? Goddamn you Democrats are blind. You'll lap up any shit your team throws on the ground, won't you? Wow.
Oh wait, I get it. Now that Americans are waking up to the nightmare of markets that are too free, you people are trying to gloss over and backpedal as fast as you can from your free market bullshit you've been hawking, and trying to act like you didn't demonize anything not absolutely free and libertopian as red socialism.
Free trade just proves the point that American made products cost too much.
Free trade and the global free market are integral parts of conservative and libertarian ideology... Just because some Democrats believe in those principles doesn't make them less conservative. Aren't you always criticizing Democrats for being too far to the left? Well Bill Clinton moved to the center and pushed NAFTA didn't he? Shouldn't conservatives praise him for that? Or did you want him to stay left? Which is it, you want absolutely free markets or you want what you call socialism and protectionism?
I'll never understand how the conservative mind works... Democrats follow conservative principles and you jump at the chance to bash them for doing that, while still apparently supporting those principles?!!?!
Take a step back. You make no fucking sense.
Lol you think NAFTA is free trade, thats a good one
So whats your plan? 25% tariffs on all Chinese goods like Trump wants?
Why don't we just make a law outlawing trade with all countries? We can make everything in the US and we'll all be rich right?
Seems fair. September 27, 2010: 12:16 PM ET: The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced Sunday that poultry imports from the U.S. will face steep tariffs, the latest salvo in an ongoing trade war between the two countries. The 35 companies singled out in the announcement will face tariffs of between 50.3% and 53.4%. All U.S. producers not named in the release will face a tariff of 105.4% percent.
