We have quietly become a second-class country in many respects. But our News Media is Silent on purpose. We no longer manufacture what we need to sustain ourselves, we import much more than we export, and we are selling off our assets and taking on massive debts to sustain a standard of living we can no longer afford. Not only is this not the way America became a superpower, it is a sure way to lose this status. We are failing even to acknowledge predatory foreign trade practices undermining US industry. Instead we encourage US manufacturers to design, engineer, and produce in third world markets like Mexico and China. We are 27th in middle class standard of living-Examples of our loss of wealth to the working families Australias which has the richest middle class whose income is $193,653 per family. Japan which has the 3 highest middle classs per family income is $141,786 per family. USA which has the 27 highest middle classs per family income is $38,786. So if you think Free Trade is destroying the USA? Why arent you demanding that the politicians you vote for are against Free Trade. Making it your First priority in voting for anyone. We can by the numbers stop it. But if we do nothing it is the same as saying I love Free Trade.
