Yes, nobody knows about the Iraq War Resolution.

*slow clap* Yay, Ron Paul cut 100 million dollars out of a 3 trillion dollar budget, yaaaaay. Slap yourselves on the back for a job well done. Whoopty dooooo.
Cheap foreign labor does reduce production cost, but the end-user consumer never sees a drop in price.
|
Really? NEVER? Can you prove that?
Quote:
|
The cheap-labor nation TAXES their own exports, and the business owner who employs cheap foreign labor rakes in massive profits MARKING UP THE PRICE of the item up.
|
Again, can you prove that always happens?
Quote:
|
The exact same thing happened with King Cotton (slavery).
|
That was free labor.
Quote:
|
You do not want to return to a Confederate economy.
|
Again, slavery is not the same.
Quote:
|
There you go again, accusing all American workers of being incompetent, you will never win elections with an attitude like that.
|
Just the incompetent ones. And I'm not running for office.
Quote:
Slavery had nothing to do with racism,
|
Totally irrelevant.
Quote:
|
it was all about cheap foreign labor and the gluttons who owned the plantations obstructing the Industrialization of the United States. Why do you think a bunch of white guys killed a bunch of white guys over it? Cause they cared about blacks? HAHAHAHAHA! Thats a funny one.
|
Where did I say that? Seriously, I see no connection between what you said and this debate.
Quote:
YOu mean one company exploiting cheap Chinese labor
|
What do you mean exploiting?
Quote:
|
competing against another company exploiting cheap Chinese labor? That kind of competition?
|
Yes, competition. Got a problem with that?
Quote:
|
First of all, that should not be taking place.
|
Then don't take part in it. Stop telling the Chinese laborers and US employers what to do. It's not your business (literally).
Quote:
|
Second of all, if one company exploiting cheap Chinese labor undercuts the 2nd company exploiting cheap Chinese labor, they will only undercut by pennies.
|
Do you understand what competition is? Or is it as unknown to you as the IWR?
Americans work for free?
Quote:
Because the other nation can reject the offer, and because the US has the Constitutional authority to reject the offer also.
|
That doesn't mean it should be done. Your argument is "can be done, so must be done?"
Quote:
If you got a problem with the US Constitution then hold a Constitutional Convention.
The US Constitution is one of the best documents made by mankind. To think otherwise is unAmerican.
|
ROFL. So disagreeing with your baseless opinion is unAmerican?
Quote:
If Congress never excersized its powers to regulate interstate trade, each state would have their own little tariffs.
|
Prove it.
Quote:
Maybe you should go to the official Libertarian website and read their Utopian schemes and their platform.
|
Sorry, but the burden of proof is on you, given that you made the claim.
Quote:
Incompetent means incompetent.
|
Yes, it does. But I still didn't say what you think I said. You're delusional.
Quote:
According to the free-traders 99% of Americans are incompetent and obsolete because they earn more then 50 cents an hour.
|
I didn't know there was a monarchy or absolute commission of "free-traders." Where is their blog that says this?
Quote:
You call Americans incompetent, its much worse then the more accurate term "obsolete."
|
Yes, some Americans are incompetent. Got a problem with the truth?
Quote:
I am a Republican who use to be a Libertarian. I listen to Rush, Michael Savage, watch FOX news, would never vote for a Democrat nomatter what.
33% of Republicans voted for Ross Perot in 1992 BEFORE NAFTA. That is the biggest 3rd party split since Teddy Roosevelt. IF THIS ISN'T resolved soon, the Republicans will lose horribly in 2008. Republicans lost in 2006 and people still scratch their head. I think I know why; Globalism. The Republican Party was started by hard core protectionists and anti-slavery abolitionists.
|
Like I said, I won't sacrifice my morals to appease public opinion.
Quote:
If the Constitution had no authority then there is no law.
|
That has nothing to do with what I said.
Quote:
Like I said, if you anti-war protesters vote for Ron Paul simply because he is anti-war, YOU WILL GET THE WHOLE LIBERTARIAN PACKAGE!
|
What the hell is your point?
Quote:
|
However, the Democratic Party was mostly pro-slavery (pro cheap labor) and free-trade throughout its history,
|
How is this relevant?
Quote:
|
so maybe Ron Paul is good for them. But since Democrats have never been principled, that probably doesn't matter. Oh I forgot, anti-war, theres your big principle.

What are you smoking? It might land you in jail if you're not careful. I certainly hope you are more coherent when you are in public, and especially when around cops.
