the corporations push nafta and wto through. we were both opposed to it. >> guest: right. >> host: that has dealt with a huge abandonment of jobs and industry to communist and fascist regimes overseas who know how to keep the workers in their place at 80 cents an hour. >> guest: right. >> host: nafta dutched a lot of corn into mexico, dispossessed families, some of them in desperation went north over the border, increased the immigration there. you have the corruption of our democratic politics, you know, the big money in politics. and they want to own everything, even our jeans, you know? they have thousands of patents of our jeans, and they don't have any patriotism. i mean, these u.s. companies grew to profit on the backs of american workers, they got in trouble, they're bailed out by american taxpayers, they got in trouble overseas, american marines, right? so what's their message to america? we're outta here! >> and they have devastated the family. they have separated children from their parents -- >> guest: right. >> host:

but nafta caffe the trade deals last fall was in factories in the last ten years because nafta staff to tax policies are chasing our corporations off shore you just admitted that that's my point we should we should be bringing those corporations not back on issuing them with higher rates because what are you not going to say if you make it the united states you get a tax break if you make it off you know in some other country in vietnam or malaysia or china or brazil or something like that you're going to pay a higher tax then corporations are going to say gee i think we'll make it here in the united states which is what they did for the two hundred years that we had an average tariff rate of thirty percent antacids so we agree that the tax rate should be cut and corporations will come back bring their money here how about a repatriation window so lots of democrats on the side of the great without all this money overseas let's bring it back for free that's you know not for free at a lower rate and it was like you say well you know i haven't paid my taxes in the last ten years want to

the wto, nafta, who can, in effect, strategically plan every aspect of our lives to make sure that none of these aspects challenge their domination. that is what corporations do, don't they. they are strategically planning our elections with money and trumped up candidates. there are strategic planning our government, swarming all over washington d.c. in the state capital, putting their own people in high government positions. they are strategically planning our environment in terms of what they're willing to pollute and not pollute. there are strategically planning our educational system, the commercialization of universities, the commercialization of lower grades. they strategically plan our food supply. the chemicals, the herbicides, the fun besides, the agribusiness. the diminishing of the family farmer, the hole agrarian structure has been collapsing. the genetic engineering. they are strategically planning our genetics, our genetic inheritance. there clearly strategically planning our health care, aren't they? doing a very effective job of denying it for people who can't pay. they

he has -- he rejected nafta, rejected free trade agreements. he embraced medicare part d and no child left behind. in the end, just like david gergen just said, he's embraced this economic populism that he is going to, in fact, specifically drop the corporate tax rate for just the manufacturing sector but leave it or reduce it to 17%. this is picking winners and losers in an economy, not economic liberty p, whiches says to me the economy may be important but not principles -- >> economic populism can be handled in a few different ways. one is the way ron paul is handling it saying you're freer to make decisions with your money than the government can do for you. or rick santorum economic populism even liberal economic populism. let's go to the tea party and talk about what influence they are having. mark skoda, founder of the memphis tea party. mark, this is a bit of a redefinition of what the tea party has been doing for the republican party movement. at this point we're at a crossroads. where do guys like you fall on this one? doug the mitt r

that is what nafta did and we are seeing large-scale factory closures over the border in mexico as these corporations move to pet break embrace of china's totalitarian capitalism or vietnam or bangladesh where people in sweat shops are paid $0.22 an hour or even prison labor and because of globalism, because of corporate capitalism, the destruction of national boundaries, workers in this country and everywhere else are told they have to be competitive on a global scale which means being competitive with people who work in sweatshops or prison labor in cheyenne and corporate capitalism by find frightening. in terms of political figures i don't believe given the configuration of our political system we are going to mount a serious challenge through the electoral process. the challenge will come through the occupy movement and i don't think these movements are going away. when you cover the revolution in eastern europe you became very cognizant of the timetables for impossible to predict. overthrowing the communist regime in poland took ten years. in east germany it took ten weeks and in cz

very critical of the sovereignty charade hinchey impact of nafta and the world trade organization, very willing to push for tough law and order, corporate crime enforcement. that is a pretty good start. both of them would like more investor and pension funds, mutual funds and investor control over these runaway corporate executives. these are really important. not that i don't disagree on unions. they will disagree on some of the things that that isn't what i see emerging. ron paul and barney frank have a passport with staff to cut the bloated À la terry budget and military contracting corruption. you couldn't have to representatives further apart on say the issue of unions or federal regulation but on that issue, they are converging and if you look at the magazine, american conservator and the "nation magazine," sometimes if you didn't see the title you were wonder which you are reading whether it's military, foreign-policy, the military budget. corporate welfare is another area where there is a convergence. libertarians dislike intensely, and their whole intellectual history going bac

why not nafta? guest of the book definitely touches on the point you just raised. may be a classic, america first democrat. ohio is a good example of a state of a place that feels the loss of american manufacturing. it is true, lobbyists, and in the tax code, corporations can write off moving expansions -- expenses to move their jobs overseas. how is that good for the economy? we need to look at this and reform the tax code so that we reward behavior that creates jobs here. host: the first words of our political system -- are you optimistic or pessimistic for change? >> i would say that i am in the middle. host: a swing voter. guest: that is right. [laughter] i am cautiously optimistic that it will change, but it will require the effort. democracy is a participatory sport. what i say in the book is that you have to do more than about. new have to get involved and make your voice is heard. you have to attend public meetings and join groups that you think represent your views. you have to communicate with elected officials and push for change. and then i think that c

and obama went to the last of her on nafta in ohio.didate, oh, don't worry, this is just a primary. primaries are cynical by nature sometimes when they get heated. because the differences are usually not as great and yet you have to exasperate them. i have to say, i didn't expect kosher meals for medicare recipients to become the closing argument of the gingrich campaign. that was a little stunning. >> or mitt romney singing "america the beautiful." let me ask you a second question historically. is this campaign more negative than most primary campaigns that you can remember? where 92% of the ads, i believe are romney and gingrich tearing each other up. >> i think it feels more negative for two reasons. i think one is, there is a saturation factor on television in a way we haven't seen in previous primaries. part of that there's just more money on the air. the super pacs have allowed, they've expanded the budget. i'm shocked we're looking at a $30 million ten-day campaign in the state of florida. on television. $30 million. >> $30 mill

nafta, the greatest betrayal of working men and women in this country since the taft-hartley act of 1948. the destruction of welfare. i mean, one of the reasons they keep extending unemployment benefits is because courtesy of bill clinton, once those unemployment bens run out and you do not have a job you have to attempt to live on about $143 a month courtesy of the welfare. the deregulation of the fcc so you have rupert murdoch and clear channel buying up literally thousands of stations, radio and television, stations consolidating it into one entity, the destruction of the banking system. canada doesn't have a banking crisis. we have about 100 bank closures a year but canada has done because it didn't tear down that firewall and put in place in the 1930s in the united states by the 1933 glass-steagall act. it didn't tear down the firewall between commercial and investment bank. in short it didn't allow gamblers and hedge funds to take over the banking system. this was all done under clinton and obama comes in and essentially codifies the destruction of both domestic and international l
