Keeping America’s Shitty Jobs at Home

One thing that disappoints me about every politician I like is their unswerving devotion to populist trade policies. Here’s that I want in a politician:

  1. Someone who understands that free trade helps everyone, rich and poor alike
  2. Someone who understands that it is alright for jobs to go whereever labour is cheapest
  3. Someone who also believes that we should also have terrific social programs at home and a first-rate education for everyone
  4. Someone who doesn’t think that their morals or family values are superior to anyone else’s

I guess you could say, I’m looking for someone who combines all the best aspects of socialism, libertarianism and capitalism all in one package. Is this too much to ask? In the meantime, Go Obama.
