Since you hate bad typing [ I am working at a cubical , typing this right now and also typing customer info and notes on troubelshooting at the same time , hence if SUPERVISOR AROUND words go nuts <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> ] .
That aside, you are intellgent, I see that from your posts. But please NEVER post something that is untrue. 1 Economica polcies enforced by the US IE capaitalism , as well as with Canada and otehr countries on weaker nations basically guarantees the weathly company owners money and not the people.
When the US as huge subsidies in markets like cotton and sugar cane and force other countries to undersell in markets, so that they lose farms and then get bought out by US firms is not " We buy the resources, not take them" , but taking them by not purchasing at fair market or under inflated prices.
The US like any power can do this, fine, its real life world worls that way. But do not complain with a hungry dog nips at its master.
