[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look - the price of a "free" market system will be the loss of production jobs in the United States.  Which is why I am for programs that encourage the purchase of US goods.  I will always be confused of blue collar people who vote Republican.  They are voting their production jobs out of the country.  Congress passes the Buy American Act (which was supposed to ensure that federal contractor dollars stayed in the US), but then added so many exemptions that it became pointless.[/quote]

You are confused why blue collar workers vote Republican? Maybe they see things differently than you do.  Maybe they, their parents, grandparents and great grandparents have had different experiences.  The vicious cycle of high property taxes, high local taxes, high federal taxes, high state taxes requires workers in NYS, for example, make a livable wage. The unions helped keep the workers safe and workers able to provide a decent lifestyle for their families.  Family small businesses failed and left heart-break after being built by immigrants fresh off the boat. I know. People and corporations started to leave after NAFTA was signed. The cost of living and doing business was just too high.  Terry MCCollough; former resident of CNY, proud Clinton fundraiser and Senator Clinton of New York supporter, has even left and now is a resident of Virginia his new Chinese purchased electric car company. Smith-Corona and now Welch-Allyn left while George Soros gets $470k in economic development benefits for purchasing the Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse and near Albany.

Welch-Allyn is business - not a charity. They are leaving and this is a NAFTA issue, Cuomo issue, Obama issue, union issue. Maybe they could have used some of that Solyndra money or the George Soros money? Oh well....[/quote]
