Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Why Is The U.S Government Working Against The General Welfare Of The People

Some of the things the Mains Stream Media do not consider news is quite frightening. One of those is the proposed mega port in Mexico’s Baja California with it adverse effects on Americas working class.

This mega port will not in any way increase the purchase of goods from China and other Asian countries unless it occurs because of the decrease in labor costs of dockworkers and transporters which will be the less expensive Mexican laborers instead of the more expensive American ones. It will not decrease the cost of shipping though it may make it easier and faster to unload cargo ships since those ships will pretty much have to travel the same distance. So how does it provide for the general welfare of Americans unless you are talking about a few rich ones whose loyalty to the United States I question.

I do see the benefits to Mexico and figure that businessman Gabriel Chavez is playing a game in order to get a better deal when he acts like he sees more important priorities. He may also be doing it for political reasons of which I do not know. There is also the possibility that he is being straightforward but I do not give that a high possibility.

In the United States I see dock workers and transport workers put out of work as their jobs are transferred to Mexico. Will the government make governmental jobs by funding public works projects to hide this job loss and so increase the deficit of the state or/and federal government or will they let it be seen.

This is not the first time the U.S. government has acted as the enemy of the people of the United States. Global free trade punishes the U.S. labor force by removing many middle income factory labor positions to developing countries like China and India. In exchange we get lower cost goods sold through companies like Wal-Mart but the middle class begins to disappear. In Los Angelus the middle class is disappearing as illegal immigrants who are used to lower pay have created a surplus labor economy where the United States is beginning to look like a heavily socialized Mexico that can not pay its bills.

Perhaps the government has decided our ports are two vulnerable to a nuclear bomb and have decided to shift the risk to Mexico. If so they are making sure not to let us know the risk.

Not only are we begininng to look like a socialized Mexico, but it seems we are more interested in providing for their country than our own.
