Perhaps my friend's words will enable you to see the bigger picture:

"Friends:

While researching the effects of NAFTA/CAFTA, WTO and other dangerous trade agreements on American manufacturing and the American middle class, it became clearly obvious to me that these economic boondoggles are nothing more that a series of very successful and well planned globalist initiatives to methodically create a global industrial feudalism requiring economic parity among the world's workers. Quite naturally, all these plans absolutely require that the once thriving American middle class be totally obliterated and reconstituted to conform with the emerging New World Order and global governance under the rule of the elites.

Over 5 million manufacturing jobs have been off shored, downsized or outsourced. Once proud Americans who used to earn $15-20 an hours as highly skilled workers have been reduced to burger flippers or Walmart greeters.

Here's another very disturbing fact that is a quote by economist Robert Reich who was Secretary of Labor under the Clinton Administration.

Quote: “The underlying problem has been building for decades. America’s median hourly wage is barely higher than it was 35 years ago, adjusted for inflation. The income of a man in his 30s is now 12 percent below that of a man his age three decades ago.”

Because I am so concerned about the deliberate destruction of American manufacturing that once supported a flourishing middle class, I have encouraged and authorized my cyperspace pals and friends to spread this information far and wide, including my rant titled:

Bill Clinton and his NAFTA Baby Co-Conspirators
Who Expedited the Outsourcing of American Jobs

Tragically, neither political party is addressing the primary cause of the utter decline of the American middle class. In fact, both political parties are guilty of treasonously betraying the American middle class. We cannot survive as a nation of dumbed down burger flippers, we cannot survive without a strong manufacturing base and we surely cannot survive with a government dedicated to merging us with the third world to achieve income redistribution and global socialism."

Actually, the only person who could have made a difference was Congressman Ron Paul, but the controlled media made sure his message didn't reach the masses.
