Oh and with the whole "free market" bull I would love to hear how he's going to create new jobs with all these corporations sending them over seas.
That's been George Bush's attitude for the past seven years and look how it's going now. Great huh?
Be Careful, you are not telling the whole truth. You are attempting to pin the failure of NAFTA and the actions of businesses on one man. If that is
your goal, then you should swing your crosshairs to the Clinton administration. He is, after all, the one who created it.
Also, Ron Paul is not high in national polls because he is not included in a majority of them. The reason I know this is because I am a republican
"super voter" as they call it. I get polled all the time. And only once this year has any poll I've participated in included Ron Paul in it's
selections. The question you should be asking is diametrically opposite of what you are asking : If Huckabee has the support the polls claim, then why
doesn't he have the money to back it up?
Two reasons : Either the support is an apparition, or his enormous amount of supporters will not open their wallets for him. In either case, his
voter turnout will be low. If Huckabee supporters will not donate, the odds are good they will not stand in the rain at the voter's booth. Ron Paul
supporters will standing the freezing rain for hours just to vote in a meaningless straw poll.
Furthermore, you obviously do not know what a free market is. The statements you make seem to indicate that the ills of this country are befallen to
us because of actions in free market capitalism. But what you are espousing is impossible to achieve when economic planning is centralized. In short,
we do not have a free market, and we haven't had a free market since 1913. The central banking concept is 100% in line with soviet style economic
planning.
Your statement

Makes me cringe. Presidents do not make Jobs. The corporations you despise so much do that. The president does not run the economy, the Central Bank,
the thing that makes your beloved, bankruptcy inducing, social programs possible does that. But if you must know. Abolishing NAFTA would go a long way
toward encouraging business to come back. Unless you want force a business owner to stay here through by the barrel of a gun, or the audit of the IRS.
I suppose if I had to put up with the looters running rampant in this country, trying to steal my creations, demanding more of my money, demanding
that I provide jobs at my expense. Forcing me to hire people that are incompetent because I have to fill a quota, I would leave too. It is after all,
granting your wish. Getting rid of the greedy, corrupted corporations that are the source of everyones pain, right? Be careful what you wish for. What
is happening in this country today, is the result of your every wish being fulfilled.
You wanted to spread our way of life to the far reaches of the globe and help those in need? Granted, it's what we are doing.
You wanted a nanny state, someone to take care of your retirement and medical needs? Granted, it's yours.
You wanted to punish the thinking rich for producing the things we need and "taking advantage" of the American worker? Done, don't be surprised
they left.
You wanted more funding for public education? Done, 2nd in the world for most money per student, Dead last for performance.
For all your bantering you don't know a thing. If you were dropped in the middle of a wilderness tomorrow, I wonder how long it would be until you
figured out how to gather, hunt, or build your own shelter, how long would it take you to build the computer your using now, from scratch. You
couldn't. The industrialist you hate so much could. What a wonderful series of contradictions you are.
