My Dad moved here from Kentucky after WWII so that his family could have a better life. Now people are moving away from this area so their families can have a better life. My house is worth less than half of what it was worth 5 years ago.

Is this the result of unions or is it the result of Nafta and Gatt? Unions did not push companies overseas, they went there for the slave labor and no regulation. Courtesy of Bill Clinton. Have you noticed that damn near everything from curtain blinds, baby food, toothpaste and sheetrock have all had issues with poisoning people. Neither the Chinese nor the corporations have an issue with killing you, its all about the bottom line. You have as much value to them as the dog in the OP of the Glorious China thread. Put the blame where it really goes.
