To the editor:

Neither Democrats nor Republicans represent the working class in America.

Both parties, along with the Bush administration, continue to deceive working America into believing that CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) will result in substantial export of U.S. autos, high-tech software and agricultural commodities to Central America.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

The primary exports from the United States will be jobs and factories.

The Bush administration, along with many members of Congress, are akin to a ship of fools, cruising blindly into a haze of corporate greed and deception. In actuality, CAFTA stands for Corporate Action For The Affluent.
