What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

China is our friend, not our enemy; Wall Street is our common enemy.

I mentioned this poll although I had not had the chance to read it.


I will be responding to this poll on my blog over the months ahead and throughout this campaign which will attempt to drag the American people into a new era of intense McCarthyism further eroding democracy while threatening world peace.


This poll pretty much outlines that anti-China hate Trump (and the Republicans) and Biden (and the Democrats) will be spewing during this 2020 campaign as they beat the drums of war.


The racist hate campaign against China goes back over one-hundred years in this country and the anti-Communist and red-baiting hate campaign go back to the 1940’s and the 1950’s as the sensible and sane voices of reason were driven out of the U.S. State Department and all government positions regarding foreign affairs as the media was drawn into this never-ending anti-China hate bashing campaign. Then we had the left-wing kicked out of the labor movement by a bunch of millionaire labor leaders more loyal to the Wall Street bosses than the workers who paid union dues; and these labor leaders joined the bosses in attacking China.


And I would point out that the heavily degreed intellectuals in academia are responsible for spewing this anti-China poison as they have dutifully served their corporate masters in churning out this anti-China/anti-Communist poison non-stop with lie after big lie being passed off as facts and truth.
All of this China bashing has been going on non-stop in this country as an inseparable part of Wall Street’s racist, anti-labor, warmongering imperialist agenda so it really isn’t any surprise that we have such polling results.

This China bashing hate campaign must be taken up and opposed with the facts and the truth by everyone who wants peace, social and economic justice.


And, I must say, it is disgraceful the way many leftists, who should know much better, have allowed themselves to be dragged into this China bashing.

Republicans are more negative than Democrats toward China, though unfavorable ratings have climbed among both parties.
