The Coca-Cola corporation has already taken over a vast number of communal water supplies in many third word countries and is nor charging for water that was once free.

The two reasons for globalization are Profit and Prophet. One worldwide business and one worldwide religion.

3. High corporate US taxes, which drives jobs out of the US and into the hands of cheap foreign labor.

4. Support of "global warming" and CO2 taxes, which increases the cost of business, driving business outside of the US.

5. Opposition to energy exploration on federal lands, which would increase US jobs, reduce the cost of business through lower energy costs , and create a domestic financial bonanza.

6. Oppose the Keystone pipeline, which (in contrast to liberal propaganda) would have 70% of the crude processed and used in the US?

7. The trial lawyers association, which simply is a piracy tax on business?



Liberal policy opposes the prosperity of the middle class and the US manufacturing sector. Want a feudal system of lords presiding over serfs?- vote democrat.

The goal is neo-feudalism.

The one thing the 1% factions have in common is support for immigrants. They are their servants. Most of the 1 percent has no contact with the middle class at all.

Free trade lets us receive more for everything we produce, and pay less for everything that we consume. Although there are individual winners and losers, the whole world and America are richer as a result. Billions of people have been lifted out of grinding poverty over the past few decades.

The one thing they all agree on is stealing from the tax payers to prop up their Globalist Utopia with a Global rather than national defensive Military

I want to hit on a couple of points. The first is the globalist have no use for representative gvts and they can throttle it through global institutions. Case in point is the latest fiasco of the {R} letter to the Iranian leadership that a agreement between the U S and Iran could become null and void. Here is the response from Iran's foreign minister :


Quote:
I should bring one important point to the attention of the authors and that is,
the world is not the United States, and the conduct of inter-state
relations is governed by international law, and not by US domestic law.

The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments
represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the
conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfill the obligations they
undertake with other states and may not invoke their internal law as
justification for failure to perform their international obligations."
Iran Calls GOP Letter 'Propaganda Ploy,' Offers To 'Enlighten' Authors : The Two-Way : NPR

Zarif when on to say that any deal would have to approved by the U N security council and would not be subject to modification by congress.

Globalist have the institutions in place to throttle democracy and make the leaders we elect useless and that letter is a joke and makes our leaders look stupid.

The globalist also have learned how to control democracy , our elected leaders , and the voters. We have all seen the game where the choices are globalist ***** A or globalist ***** B and who ever wins makes no difference to the globalist. They have us and there is nothing we can do about it because they have control of our political process and are dominate on the world stage.

Your issue seems to be that a world government wouldn't be American enough.

Canadians vote for their local MPs, and the leader of the party with the most elected MPs typically becomes the PM. There is no direct vote for the PM.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_electoral_system

Just because someone has power, it doesn't automatically make them fascist.

And I highly doubt that the global government would hold together for long anyways. Look at the EU right now and tell me that a global government would work. Hell, just look at the US and tell me it's not on the verge of breaking apart.

The whole idea is just so goofy... but it is great fodder for scary conspiracy theories.

The globalization trend that started in 1980s, will doom the western civilization. Economists look only at figures, but very few examine political and social aspects from a wider perspective.
Interesting fact: such enormous shift, with global consequences was not debated publiclly and was never voted as a "package" in congress. There were votes for specific agreements, but never for the whole process. Americans vote for (or against) millions of insignificant details, but not for something that may affect life for generations...Isn't it amazing? Yes, you can buy cheap goods at Walmart but did anyone told low income folks that it will cost them (and their children) their jobs, medical insurance, benefits, even a basic feeling of stability? Don't remember such arguments. In the 80s advocates of globalization claimed enthusiastically that for each lost job, 2 new "quality" jobs will be created. On paper, the plan was for Asia to perform the dirty jobs and manufacture cheap goods, while we'll keep inventing and be busy with space age technologies (for millions of workers...lol)
In spite what supporters of the 2 political parties say, both republicans and democrats pushed globalization like zombies. Not a single administration in the last 35 years said: lets stop and reevaluate the whole issue.
The last recession that deeply altered our lives is a direct result of this process. There is more to come. America is in danger of becoming a third world country and western nations will no longer be what they are in just 20-30 years. Their national character, tradition and languages will be lost. I am not sure that was the intention of globalization advocates...

I'm concerned with the Dems defense of illegal entry.
