Ray, behind the rhetoric of those guys (I don't mean you) there are a lot self-inflicted pain caused by the local into their own fellow citizens. Civil servants fat cats leeching the blood of poor countries. (Argentina has a surplus of 400.000 of them) Local businessmen with profits protected by barriers. Multinational corporations with local front men protected by the same barriers that protected the local businessmen. Customers being squeezed to death with abusive prices and lack of options Legal framework to protect the 'friends of the king' School systems which are a against the poor people. (Spending three to five times more on university students than in basic education) Odious distribution of income (Brazil is the sixth worse distribution of income in the world.) Monopolies sabotaging the local economies. This has to end. ANd onbly opening of markets can force a change. NAFTA is good, Ray.
