Whatever happened to our middle class?
There's at least one big reason Social Security needs "fixing." A giant slice of Americans who once paid into SS no longer have real jobs. Their SS monies are sent out of the country to support the families of illegal aliens. Taxpayers subsidized American businesses that hire illegals at cut rates to the tune of $69 billion a year, it is claimed. Have ever so many been hosed by so few for so long?
The America we knew signed on to NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), and now CAFTA (Central American Free...), joined the World Trade Organization, sent its good jobs, machinery, know-how overseas to China, Mexico, India, Pakistan for cheap labor. Ostensibly,
the entire inventories of Walmart, Target, other stores come from third-world countries, primarily China.
The American job loss was further inflamed by the influx of 20-30 million (no one really knows) illegal aliens and their families, computer in-sourcers from India and Pakistan, and cell phone out-sourcers in India, Latin and South America.
The 'giant sucking sound' Ross Perot warned us about years ago accompanied the destruction of America's middle-class, wages, pensions, education, hospitalization, better homes, cars, savings accounts, employment and hope. As Perot expalined: "NAFTA is great for companies," suicide for Americans.
What has NAFTA done for you? Cheaper goods to be purchased with cheaper dollar incomes, different breeds of fruits and vegetables from countries that can use any weed-killer no longer legal in America to grow their products.
We've got our military in over a hundred foreign countries. Wouldn't it be great if we had a patriot third-party, one that just guarded and looked out for Americans? It might be possible if we had term-limits, instead of political hacks who have made life-long sinecures for themselves as incumbents with the mostes' loot, the best politicians money can buy.
Our presidents and Congress haven't been looking out for Americans for a long, long time.
