Entry: They Are The Hollow Men Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/they_are_the_hollow_men#22482 Post contents: Great article! I am not smart enough to know the answer, I don't know what is the best system,but Free Trade has not benefitted my friends, families or myself. I will not bore you with the blue collar details of a marginalized middle aged working class white guy, but the last 30 years of Free trade wiped out the economic futures of a whole class of American people. Glib remarks that they only need to retrain themselves for viable high tech jobs notwithstanding. Don't we all look in wonder how sane reasonable people were able to rationalize and excuse slavery 150 years ago, when we only had to hear Frederick Douglas's query" if slavery is good for me and my family, why is it not good for yours?" to know that a similar query about free trade should be asked of those smug elitist Free Trade B****rds. Unfortunate Consequences of Free Trade is great for the Great Unwashed but not ever for Wall Street sub prime credit card predators and derivative wizards that are bailing with billions. As My Grandma always said, at least Jesse james used a gun! Sent at: 2008 07 24
