Colombian Free Trade Agreement

It stinks for everyone involved.

The Colombians get screwed by the agreement, because they still get lower wages and get to have some multi-national corporation dumps toxins into the environment down there witht he looser environmental standards, and if they try to organize, they can expect to be "disappeared", while American jobs are lost and the tax base is lowered here.

 

I have no poroblems with free trade on the surface, but I do have a problem with working people being pitted against each other like they are in the globalization scemes.
