Jim Neal on Free Trade

Democratic Senate Challenger

Export American values, not American jobs

My opponent’s support for economic policies has been a disaster for middle class families. Good-paying jobs are sent to countries that use slave labor, and here at home prices for gasoline, food and health care are soaring.

We need to start exporting American values, not American jobs. When we ship jobs and industries overseas, we also ship our tax base overseas--that’s why America is losing its ability to pay for schools, roads and national defense.
