Feeling Political

The difference between the right and the left:

The far right are selective in the news they choose to witness; I don't know how else they could hold the policies that they do. They are either sadists, enjoying the suffering of others, or willfully ignorant. The facts and information are out there, you just have to look. (MONEY)

The far left are more open to news--even if it is not left-leaning. They witness the world and they change their lives to accommodate and acknowledge the existence of people other than themselves or their business partners. (HUMANS)



Why Free Trade Won't Work:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single company in possession of free trade, must be in want of cheaper labour. They claim it makes products cheaper. However, by moving their manufacturing to another country and taking away jobs from their own country they are committing a slow suicide. They are eliminating the working-class who are the major consumers of their goods. If their jobs are consistently being exported, then they do not have the disposable income (or any income) on which to spend on goods. The system is inherently unstable and will eventually implode upon itself. In the United States this is going to become more aggressive since the US has funneled all its money into Iraq causing a massive debt that will further impoverish the wage-earning class.
