Globalization has been a disaster for the working people of the world. The idea was to break down national barriers to trade, but the way globalization has been carried out, borders are open to capital but not to labor. NAFTA, for instance, has managed to lower wages and increase unemployment in all three countries!
Besides Americans losing jobs to Mexico, Mexicans have lost jobs because even their jobs have been 'exported' to poorer areas near the border. This is one reason for the increased flow of illegal aliens to the US.
Most Democrats are not philosophically opposed to globalization on principle. It's just the way it's been done. It hasn't been done in everyone's interest, only in the interests of the large corporations who have influence with our government, and who want a 'race to the bottom' for wages and working conditions.

Because neither is good for America. The only entity profiting from globalization currently is the mega-superduper-uber-conglomerate monster Corporation.
Not good for Americans!

Those trade agreements put American goods at a disadvantage. They make our goods more expensive over seas and thiers cheaper here. There are also incentives for American companies to produce thier products out of out country.

Oh Good Lord. Prices are not down and employment is not down. That is lunacy to even state such things.
Kucinich is right.

Those organization are run by illegal aliens....and I'm not talking about Mexicans----they are Extra Terrestials in disguise.
They took the thoughts we thought we thought and made us think the thoughts we've been thinking we thought.
Ask Kusinich----he knows!

Because globalization is bad and means less freedom.
