Election year again. Just flip a coin

I saw this photo on face book and I replied with the following statement.

 

Well whose fault is it making the Walmart owners wealthy? Is it the owners or the people who shop there? If you shop at Walmart you helped make the owners wealthy, which is no longer in the Walmart families control. So I am trying to get the point with this photo. We are not in a down grade of the middle class because of Walmart. We are in a down grade of the middle class because of our trade deals which shipped factories out of the country and there is an overabundance of workers, so the demand is low for people and now the far left want to allow even more people into our country.  We do not have enough industry or jobs for the people who are already here including the illegal folks. Thus wages will be low because so many people are competing for jobs. Walmart is not the problem NAFTA and FREE TRADE with CHINA is.

Because of NAFTA and Free trade industry has left America by the thousands and millions have lost their jobs, both political parties know this yet Americans are fooled by the political psych-ops that are thrown at them. No matter what party is in charge the Average American will be treated as a stooge and continue to struggle so long as industry has more of a voice then the American people as a whole! Our industrial base has shrunk because of decades of failure in Washington and the bribes that lobbyist gave to the political class to insure their re-election. It is that simple. Most do not know how much China has us by the balls. Heck 90% of raw earth material for our medicines comes from China. not that we do not have such materials. But because of the EPA and cheap labor well this is the results of just this one industry. We have thousands of industries that decided to prop up a communist state. I will not even go into the military and national security concerns because of the give away to communist state. Free trade should be with free nations that have a standard of living which does not have industries leave and prop up a dictatorship or narco state.

So please when I hear people complain about how bad we have it in America, well; we keep voting for the same people and expect a different result. I will be voting for the Democrat Party in Washington DC, because of the tea party loon birds, not that the democrats are any better but they are not as nutty as the tea party buffoons. The Democrat party will continue to screw up in DC but not as bad as the tea party nit wits who love this free trade crap. In the State of Maryland I do know one thing I will split my vote not sure as of yet who I will vote for. But the bottom line nothing will get better so long as we have trade deals that loose US industry and jobs in our country to some communist state, which make me think the free trade deals with China, the backers support the communist party, or some third world nation. Too bad America keeps electing them to go to Washington. America is still for sale, the elected misfits are the brokers and the lobbyist are the buyers.
