Keep in mind that Obama is pushing the Pacific Rim trade agreement as well. Why are democrats, who purportedly support the middle class, so intent on killing it?

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Our government has succeeded where no foreign enemy could ...
stagnant the american worker,destroy its manufacturing industrial base and make us dependant on the government.

And the party you vote for is not making it better. By adding undocumented immigration, low skill wages are set to stagnate for a generation. It helps create a massive under class that will be dependent. The democrats get power over people who can't fend for themselves, and simultaneously get profit for corporations.

And then, they make people like you pay for it.

They build a sustained under class base, get power, but they don't pay for it. You do.

The whole purpose of modern day Democratic policies was never to make things better for the poor. Wake up. They are just the other republican party.

Look around. American liberals are thrilled about Hilary Clinton. I really can't come up with sympathy toward people who self destruct.

And let me tell you. The end result of a democratic party dominance is not that different than the alternative. the ruling powers on either side will get what they want either way.

What really matters, after all, is not left versus right. It is whether you know how to play the game or whether you are just idiotically idealistic.

And, you know what, I criticize the democrats a lot. Do I really mind them? Why would I?

The US saves in labor costs by finding smarter ways of doing things. Doing more with less.

Doing more with less means doing it with less workers since labor is usually the largest cost of doing any business! It is called productivity. Robots also don't need health benefits, don't get the flu, don't take vacation time don't get pregnant, don't serf the web, don't use smart phones, don't drink coffee, smoke, take lunch or drink sodas or eat candy, have opinions, bad attitude, and don't join the National Guard. Plus they work 24/7 year round. Whats not to like!

Um, the repeal of Glass-Steagall passed in the Senate with 98 votes.
