Not party affiliated, but a question to democrats or those with liberal beliefs?
Question:
Answers:
I don't see any contradiction. People need jobs in order to live. There is sufficient technology to control the pollution that factories cause. Both issues could be favorably resolved if the committment to do so existed. Liberals care about people and the environment.
No, the two issues don't contradict each other.
America can handle more then two issues at a time...
As with everything else, it's a matter of balancing the two. You cannot survive without jobs but pollution can be controlled.
If we were still in an 'Industrial Age' i would totally agree with you ... since we are two or three 'Ages' past the industrial age it makes it a bit less relevant, over-all and it is mostly old people and less educated people that do not retrain or are to old for the company to feel it is worth paying for the training (Service age and Information age for two others since industrial).
Also, i believe if you, personally, look things up for yourself (what i did as an independent not really believing either of the two main sides -D/R) you would find that Dems and/or Libs do not like outsourcing jobs and usually only wish companies to be responsible to their employees, their community and their nation.
Before the good old 'trickle down theory' (ya know, you sit under a tree while big business pees on the tree and it trickles on you) even thinking about outsourcing was a moral sin for politicians and Liberal was a 'good/nice' word instead of the twisted thought of it now ...
NAFTA and CAFTA are both conservative backed agreements. Do you really think that Mexico, China, Vietnam and others give two craps about pollution and global warming?? I don't think so!! Our Corporations moved overseas because of the lack of stringent laws for pollution and global warming. They have sold their souls to the devil and see nothing but obscene profits. Our nation is rotting from within and if the politicians and the corporations don't soon wake up we will not be the nation that we've been since it's inception.
