Should I be able to go to Carrier's plant in Mexico and take a job? Or, should we invade Mexico (and other parasites) to take back our sovereign property? By sovereign property I mean businesses developed here with our people, infrastructure and financial system? Why won'the parasites develope their own commercial infrastructure and products; because it's easier to steal from themselves (pretitory wages) and other's work?
