Where did I say Clinton wrote NAFTA. The article I quote said quite distinctly that Bush v1.0 initiated the treaty.
What I did say is that if it was so bad for the American worker and if the dems are suppose to champion said worker their beloved president would not have pushed it and their supposedly competent congress would have blocked it--just like they blocked Kiucinich's impeachment bill.
Democrats: pry-or-teez...we gotz em!
See, NAFTA is/was and will always be inevidable. Right? Don't try to spin this so it seems as if I'm asking America to shut it's doors to trading with the rest of the world. That's an old trick and I'm not falling for it.
So NAFTA was going to happen no matter what. So Clinton signed it. That's not the problem. The problem is the GOP from 2000-2006 have passed some pretty shitty anti American worker laws that have benefitted corporations but really hurt workers. Hell, hurt the entire country. Did you see the article I posted earlier about the $500 billion in taxes corporations avoided from 2000-2006 via firms like morgan stanley & lehmann brothers? Before I post it, after you read it I want you to go google those firms and see in the news TODAY that now those firms are in trouble, even after they ripped off the American taxpayers for 6 plus years, now they are going to get bailed out from the treasury!!! You people are rediculous.
Why am I all over the place? Because there is so much ******* information that proves you are the dumb voters I'm talking about.
Consider that you are on the same side as that retard Alliebaba. She's the retard broke ass that the GOP cater to. OMG!!! Thank God most people are catching on. Even if they are slow, eventually they get it.
But this is just one little story of MANY that explain how the GOP ruined the economy.
Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers and other Wall Street giants helped foreign investors dodge billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on stock dividends while the IRS looked the other way, a Senate investigation found.
The firms worked with shell hedge funds that had little more than offshore mailing addresses in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere. The funds arranged complex equity swaps and stock loans aimed at circumventing U.S. tax laws, a staff report by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said.
The IRS has neither enforced existing rules prohibiting the transactions nor tried to draft new standards, the 77-page report said.
“These are gimmicks peddled by American financial institutions to deny Uncle Sam taxes owed under our law,” Senator Carl Levin, who heads the panel, told reporters. “The IRS has pussyfooted on this.”
Morgan Stanley enabled foreign clients to avoid payment of more than $300 million in U.S. dividend taxes from 2000 to 2007. (THE SAME TIME THE REPUBLICANS RAN ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT)
Lehman estimated its customerÂ’s eluded payment of as much $115 million in 2004 alone.
UBS helped clients escape payment of $62 million from 2004 to 2007.
