After Clinton a Democrat, did this in 1998, by 2004, within 45 minutes of where I live over 20,000 textile jobs went overseas. This is in Alabama, where their average pay was $15 and hour when they shut the mills down and moved. Minimum wage back then was about $5 an hour or less. They had BC/BS insurance for themselves and their families. I worked in the natural gas industry and these textile mills used half the natural gas delivered to our area. Coal and propane were their backup fuels.
Textiles manufactured were womens undergarments, shirts, pants, towels and wash cloths, sheets and pillow cases, traditional diapers, athletic clothing, and carpets. All gone.
We slowly got car parts manufacturing to replace some of the jobs. Some small towns were devistated. But who cared, we always voted red down here.
We also lost a Uniroyal tire plant that was union and averaged $28 an hour with 1000 workers.
We also lost an athletic equipment manufacturing company that made exercise bikes, treadmills, basketball goals, and childrens red wagons, with about 700 jobs.
Still want to vote democrat? They want to make us a socialist state that is not powerful that can deal "equally" with other states for the greater good of the world.
I say America First. I have seen these so called free trade agreements gut our industry, increase our poverty, and make these people more dependent on big government.
Ross Perot was right and so is Trump. Trump is trying to reverse this, if he only had help from the other side. Most dems are usefull idiots voting the party line of their Roosevelt grandparents, all the while the democrat party has been taken over by socialist and communists doing everything to destroy the American family so big government can become the answer.
