All Fox News wants is a white, rich society controlled by the corporate elite. And they will use any means to keep people such as yourself from there real agenda. They use abortion and Planned Parenthood lies to keep the evangelical vote, they use Muslim scare tactics to fire up the neo cons the KKK and skinheads. Then to keep the gun toting red necks they tell you that the left wing is coming for your guns. But not one of you people will even attempt to look at the legislation they block.
Now there using NAFTA and telling you that NAFTA was signed into law by Clinton and that's a GD lie Bush 41 signed NAFTA into law. Here is a picture of him doing it. Then they tell you NAFTA is a job killer and blame Clinton when it's not a job killer. The only GD job killers in this country is the fucking republicans that blocked Obama from comprehensive tax reform that would have eliminate tax subsidies and loophole for corporation moving out of the country, and also gave them the ability to hide there profits offshore tax free. Because you racist refuse to even look at legislation sponsored by Obama. But night after night you will listen to flat out lies by Fox that's run by a pervert. Then they convince you that our corporation pays the highest taxes in the world and that's why they leave and you fucking people believe that shit. Not one company in this country pays more that 11.5%. So I say BS your such a low information voter lead by a pervert

You are both right and wrong, turdhead. NAFTA was signed by President George H.W. Bush, Mexican President Salinas, and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1992. It was not RATIFIED by the legislatures of the three countries until 1993. The U.S. House of Representatives approved it by 234 to 200 on November 17, 1993. The U.S. Senate approved it by 60 to 38 on November 20, three days later.
It was finally signed into LAW by President Bill Clinton on December 8, 1993 and entered force January 1, 1994. Although it was signed by President Bush, it was a priority of President Clinton's. It caused the loss of 700,000 US jobs as production moved to cheaper labor in Mexico.
"A “North American Accord” was first proposed by the Republican Reagan in 1979, a year before he was elected president. A decade later, his Republican successor, George H.W. Bush negotiated the final agreement with Mexico and Canada.
But the Democrats who controlled the Congress would not approve the agreement. And when Democrat Bill Clinton was elected in 1992, it was widely assumed that the political pendulum would swing back from the right, and that therefore NAFTA would never pass. But Clinton surrounded himself with economic advisers from Wall Street, and in his first year pushed the approval of NAFTA through the Congress.
Despite the rhetoric, the central goal of NAFTA was not “expanding trade.” After all, the U.S., Mexico, and Canada had been trading goods and services with each other for three centuries. NAFTA’s central purpose was to free American corporations from U.S. laws protecting workers and the environment. Moreover, it paved the way for the rest of the neoliberal agenda in the US—the privatization of public services, the regulation of finance, and the destruction of the independent trade union movement.
The inevitable result was to undercut workers’ living standards all across North America. Wages and benefits have fallen behind worker productivity in all three countries. Moreover, despite declining wages in the United States, the gap between the typical American and typical Mexican worker in manufacturing remains the same. Even after adjusting for differences in living costs, Mexican workers continue to make about 30% of the wages of workers in the United States. Thus, NAFTA is both symbol and substance of the global “race to the bottom.”

Bitch clinton IS a puppet for Wall Street just as obammy, bushie and slick willie were. That is why Trump scares the hell out of the Wall Street an DC establishment, he is not their puppet, and they are doing everything they can to discredit and derail Trump. THAT is why it is so important that he be elected. Wake up, moonbats!!!
