          No matter how hard I try to get the Square peg into the Round hole it just doesn't sit right. America is being told by the "Globalites Party" made of Democrats and Republicans that we must compete against the world economically. Now if my History  is correct we have already competed against the entire world and we have won. Consider all the World Wars. Consider the Industrial Revolution. Consider theTechnology Revolution and the Medical Sciences as well. Consider the Economic Revolution. We have won all of these battles. Didn't our financial support of Defense Contractors topple the Soviet Union while creating jobs here. What we have now is a system to deprive American middle class citizens from their revenue shares of our Global win.

 

          All of these wins were fought and paid for by the tax payer and the working class. The win has resulted in enormous wealth and power. Thru taxation and reinvestment of that tax revenue we created jobs that replenished the revenues and also allowed us to provide Education, Small Business Loans, G.I. bills, Retirement, Social Security, as well as Economic, and Military Supremacy unto ourselves. This was working so well even that the middle class was soon competing effectively against the wealthy ruling class. And then suddenly we are told we must compete against the underclass of Third world Countries and their wages, not the wealthy ruling class of our own country.

 

         The Ruling Class of these third world nations would also retain their wealth and status and join together with  the Ruling Class of our nation to create a working class only competition. A competition where the assets of the middle class both private and government are used to build and fund a Economic Structure that supports the Wealthiest individuals in the world. The American middle class will compete only against lower classes not upper classes anymore.

 

          By diverting all middle class wealth and assets into Globalization, the middle class competes against the third world underclass for wages and benefits only. The Wealthy elitists of these Third World Nations Compete against each other for the Wealthy businesses being Privatized in the United States. All of what used to be Government assets owned by the Taxpaying Middle Class.

       

          Protectionism is American. If we don't Protect our Economy We are not Protecting America. Free Traders are Free Traitors. Every Power in America is Based on The Economy of America. We must not allow the Liquidation of Our Assets. They speak to us/U.S. in Colors of Red, White, and Blue, and All the While the Globalites are working the Numbers. Economic Security is National Security.
