Marcia Squier on Free Trade

 

 


Replace free trade deals with zero export taxes

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Support & expand free trade"?

A: Oppose--I want zero export taxes and varying import taxes, depending on the percentage of American-made products.

Oppose TPP, NAFTA, and similar trade deals

Q: Do you support deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

Marcia Squier: I absolutely do NOT support the TPP, the TTIP, the TISA, or any other similar trade deal! They will eliminate jobs, not create them. Those of us from the Motor City know how disastrous NAFTA was and is to the auto industry. The TPP is known as NAFTA on steroids, especially since corporations will be able to sue municipalities for prevention of future profit, regardless of any environmental or human-rights violations. Corporations should never be allowed to overrule the law of the land. If that happens, we will be powerless to stop human suffering and planetary destruction.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (Dem.): While we do live in a global economy and we must resolve to balance the scales. We should not enter into any agreement that would allow any other country or countries to be given an advantage in trade that will take jobs and financial benefits out of the US.

Pro-free enterprise, according to AFA survey.

Squier supports the AFA survey question on free enterprise

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
