NAFTA The gift that justkeeps on giving.

Can someone please tell me how Americans benefit from this ridiculous trade agreement? I honestly don't think there is one thing that has done more to hurt Michigan's economy more than NAFTA, but somehow it's hardly ever criticized here. What did we gain? Tariff free access to 100 million Mexicans that buy our subsidized corn? Or was it so we could sell to the 7 people living in Canada?


Now we don't even have the right to label our products as we see fit? This is absolutely ridiculous and any candidate that agrees to tear this piece of crap up gets my vote next year!

Absolutely. The top 1% rich Americans, now get to have their products made more cheaply, allowing them to make a larger profit. They get to register their businesses in foreign countries, as their main headquarters. This allows these "Americans" to avoid paying American taxes, have more money, and to live more luxurious lifestyles.

The End

Bernie Sanders opposed Nafta:

Pretty much sums it up. The number of Americans in the "middle class" has fallen below fifty percent, according to Pew Research Center. This redistribution of wealth is continuing.

And it's a grand idea so long as it's not your money being redistributed!

Wonder if the Clinton's are getting kickbacks for helping implement this.

Yes, grand if one is in the wealthy, receiving end.

Yeah, they too are the gift that keeps on giving [[and resurfacing - like the Bushes). Especially if Hillary Clinton gets in. What a sad choice of presidential candidates.
