Foreign policy, trade policy, & tax policy

[miller]

Not until America elects a 3rd party that will

1) have a neutral foreign policy with the entire world,
2) protects all manufacturing jobs by preventing all slave made products from China to be unloaded on the docks,
3) destroys the income tax code entirely, replaced by the fair tax.

we will have destroyed ourselves. The Democrat Republican Crime Family is giving bin Laden more than he is praying to Allah for.

I have said that hundreds of times,until we get a third party president in office,it will never happen,there is no hope for the future of the country or the world till that happens.

Trade deficit still gettin' bigger...

Trade Deficit Widens to $40.6 Billion in December
Friday, February 11, 2011 Washington (AP) - The trade deficit widened in December, closing out a year in which America's gap ballooned by the largest amount in a decade.

The deficit increased 5.9 percent in December to $40.6 billion, the Commerce Department reported Friday. U.S. exports of goods and services rose to $163 billion, a 1.8 percent gain and the best showing since July 2008. Sales of industrial machinery, civilian aircraft and autos and auto parts led U.S. exports.

But imports rose even faster. A 2.6 percent gain pushed total U.S. imports to $203.5 billion, the highest level since October 2008. The increase was led by a 16.8 percent rise in imported oil. The average price for a barrel of imported crude oil climbed to $79.78 in December, the highest point since crude imports averaged $91.73 per barrel in October 2008.

For all of 2010, the U.S. trade deficit rose to $497.8 billion, a 32.8 percent surge. It was the biggest annual percentage gain since 2000. In 2009, the deficit had fallen to the lowest point in eight years as demand for imports plunged. Economists believe the deficit will keep widening in 2011 but that U.S. manufacturers will benefit from a weaker dollar, which makes their goods more competitive in foreign markets.

President Barack Obama, looking for ways to attack high unemployment, has set a goal of doubling the nation's exports in five years. He recently pledged to move forward this year to win approval of a free trade pact with South Korea.

only 1) is something that is agreeable....

2) is advocating protectionism which is incompatible with a free market

3) is retarded as a fair tax enslaves people to the government in hopes that the pre-bates stay at a reasonable level. votes will be turned solely on politicians dangling more pre-bate cash in front of people.

with that said I do want a 3rd party candidate, but not one who advocates what you describe
