The 2016 presidential election has further brought into the discourse, topics of international trade treaties, globalization and how the political parties are influenced by corporations to act on their behalf. It is clear to about half of America, we are being “ruled” by a corporate elite group of mega rich globalists whom have no responsibility to ethics or sustainable policies, but only to themselves. As John Maynard Keynes said “Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.” (Brainy quote) In the United States and most of Europe we have reached the point where our government has far surpassed it’s role in our everyday lives. Whether we want it or need it, global government is here. Dont get me wrong, im not a communist or even a socialist. Capitalism has worked in the past and I beleive it will work again in the future.
Hillary Clinton is accurately described by Donald Trump as “the personification of special interest corruption”. Hillary Clinton has claimed recently, she is not in favor of the TPP (trans-pacific partnership) trade deal, which is more like a trade treaty and is widely disliked. The TPP like NAFTA rewards companies for taking manufacturing overseas and encourages outsourcing jobs. Nike Inc. reported earnings of 32 billion dollars for fiscal year 2016 (Source), most of which are produced outside the U.S. “Nearly all of our footwear and apparel products are produced outside the United States, while our equipment products are produced both in the United States and abroad.” (Earning report) Nike embodies what a global corporation is concerned with, profits. Nike has many times been slammed by the media for its use of sweatshops and horrible working conditions overseas in order to maintain these huge profits.
If we as a nation are going to continue electing lawyers from Yale and Harvard with admitted ties to the aforementioned elite, we will continue down a path of eventual corporate enslavement. We already have seen the emergence of human microchip implants for safe keeping of important data (i.e. Financial, medical, etc…). We have also seen how companies like Montsanto further gain control over the patents on seeds which produce vast amounts of our food globally. We didn’t vote for these intrusions on our constitutional rights. The left’s so called “progressive agenda” looks to further weaken interracial relations, increase dependance on the government, and continue to fight on both sides of endless wars globally to fuel the military industrial complex. If we elect HRC, we may not get a chance to stop this horrible “regressive” agenda for at least 4 years. No, Trump is not perfect, he never said he was. I do however, believe him when he says he wants to stop the globalist agenda and put America first! Let’s give an outsider a chance and not choose the status quo just because Rachel Maddow says he’s a bad man. Let’s make America great again!
