Let me introduce the last defender of American jobs; South Korea's Kim Sun-dong.
In a last-ditch attempt to prevent South Korea from signing the US-South Korea free trade deal, this bad-ass motherfucker threw a goddamn canister of tear gas at the majority party.
“The legislators were passing a bill which will make ordinary people shed bitter tears,” Kim Sun-dong, a member of the small opposition Korea Democratic Labor Party, told a crowd of supporters on Tuesday night, explaining why he had sprayed tear gas. “So I detonated tear gas so that they too shed tears, even if theirs were fake tears.”
I like the cut of this guy's jib. I think more legislators should get a whiff of tear gas now and then.
I also like the majority party's explanation that they 'had to pull a sneak attack and sign the pact without inviting the opposition, because otherwise it never would have passed.' Oh. That makes perfect sense!
Free trade deals are bad for everyone. They are the cause of the dreaded "out-sourcing" everyone whines so much about (you can thank Bill Clinton's NAFTA-y ass for that), and in return the poorer country gets stuck with a bunch of asshole US companies telling them it's totally fair that they should produce jeans and Snuggies for pennies on the dollar. It's also a giant waste of fuel to ship products around the world.
Not like we were trying to get away from using fossil fuels or create jobs or anything... because your citizens in both countries are totally rioting in the streets right now. (Do I hear a guillotine creaking?)
