33. That's A Logical Fallacy
"Here's the thing, pampango. Most of the country agrees with me."

That's a logical fallacy-appeal to popularity;nobody should know better than "us" that just because a lot of people support or oppose something doesn't make it right or wrong or wise or unwise. Repealing NAFTA wouldn't add one job but would sure piss off the Mexicans and Canadians.

As an aside it's interesting how many on the left want to let Mexicans in and keep their products out while many of the right want to keep Mexicans out and their products in. Like Marx "standing Hegel on his head" I have stood the right and left on their collective heads. I want to let Mexicans and their products in.
