Advocating the loss of American jobs, suppression of American wages, and resultant impoverishment of American workers certainly IS treason in my book.
And also worth mentioning is all this B.S. about "competitiveness." This is nothing but a greed-motivated, anti-American soundbite for claiming that American workers make too much money to compete with their enslaved foreign counterparts.
Where the hell does a $300K/year newscaster get off at, implying that an American factory worker should make $3K/year to "compete" with a foreign slave-wage workers?
What kind of hypocrisy does it take for a $1 MILLION/year CEO or junior executive to claim that an American worker should accept less than $3K/year to be competitive with his impoverished foreign counterpart?

We need to end all this Free-Traitor B.S. right now, and go back to the policies implemented by our forefathers--High Protective Tariffs on foreign imports to protect American industry (and now workers) from unreasonable & un-American foreign competion.
We did it with the British and the entirety of Europe in the 1800's.
Why can't we do it now?
