That cutting is a misquote and you did it again.   As for your ideal paradise, I'm out of it.   REH ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Pollard To: 'Ray Evans Harrell' ; 'Darryl and Natalia' ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 9:49 PM Subject: RE: [Futurework] FWD: NAFTA: North American Deal Dismal After aDecade Ray,   Every Union that supports protection for their firm, so that they can get a cut, is screwing the rest of the population. Poor people have a reduced standard of living because of the higher prices caused by protection.   If that’s all right by you, so be it.   Their protected markets “screw the little guy”.   How can a free market “screw the little guy”?   Harry ******************************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA  91042 Tel: 818 352-4141  --  Fax: 818 353-2242 http://haledward.home.comcast.net ********************************************   From: Ray Evans Harrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2004 10:04 PM To: Harry Pollard; 'Darryl and Natalia'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Futurework] FWD: NAFTA: North American Deal Dismal After aDecade     Harry, you said: the protectionist unions who are against free trade for fear it will affect their cushy jobs and pensions. The fact that protectionism will raise prices to the other 280 million Americans is not their concern. They are for themselves -  which they have a perfect right to be.   What I said was: that by using such language the attitude is that although they have the right to organize and be for themselves they somehow are screwing the rest of the nation by doing so.   Of course how many of those 280 million are workers and how many belong to the unions that guarantee them their wages and healthcare benefits not to mention their jobs?   My statement stands.  You can't praise markets that screw the little guy indiscriminately and that are amoral at best and then complain when some people organize for self protection in the face of such aggression.   It is all in the way you see it.   So the answer to your question?   "Did I say that?"      Yes Harry that is what I read you saying.   Ray     --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
