Tim Waters Quotations

We realize trade is very important to businesses, but it needs to be on an even level. You cannot expect an American worker to compete with young women and children in prison in China who are forced to work. How do you compete with that as a worker in the United States with a family and kids? The answer is, you don't.

We're not telling them (companies) not to go over there and do business. Let's keep an annual review - take a look at this thing. Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?

They said all this (NAFTA) is really going to create jobs in the United States. Its not happened. It's not going to happen in China. Why give away our control hoping that something like that happens? ...They've (U.S. companies) continued to do business over there. Has it created more jobs in the U.S.? No. Has it made more money for the multinationals? Yes.
