Do you really think that those hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their jobs because of a fat-cat backed policy like NAFTA (supported by both parties - but championed by the Clintons) are self-centered and selfish?
I've read that more than 50,000 factories have closed since NAFTA's passage.

A handful of people like the Walmart heirs have made billions since its passage. The Clintons are multimillionaires
Hundreds of thousands are desparate.
