Americans first in this magnificent country

American jobs for American workers

Fair trade, not free trade
That's basically what the Study found to be the case. It's not the opinion, it's not the will of the people, it's the money. You know back in the day when basically just well to do or "rich" people served in Congress, they did so without pay for the most part, they had their own lives, careers, businesses and enterprises and spent as little time in DC as they could get away with. I opposed the big salary increases for Congress for that reason, because it seemed to me that if you couldn't afford to serve our country for free or a small stipend, you would be looking to serve for the money associated with it. And, I do believe that's what we've ended up with.
