Ryan Bridge: FTA'S need to be done

Those opposing our FTA with India have got be guilty of economic treason, don't they?

We're a small trading nation with lots of food, and world markets who need our red meat and our milk. 

The closer the country, the better. The higher-value-add, the better. 

And the sugar on top is tariff-free access, so our competitive advantaged producing the world best dairy and sheep and beef, and Kiwifruit, can all me admired and loved by the word at a reasonable price. 

When Helen Clark and Phil Goff signed the deal in Beijing back in 2007, two-way trade was $8.

It's now $41-billion. It's now our largest trading partner.

We are on the cusp of another bonanza just like with a country much bigger and meddle class about the crack on. 

It's to come the third largest economy in the world.

However, some kiwi politicians believe this is somehow a bad thing. That selling our best produces to other countries at cheaper prices, unencumbered another' tax regime, how is that not a good idea? 

Why because we may have take an 1700 Indians on working visas coming here? 

So what. They work hard, they hussle. They don't piss around fishing at the beach or sitting on the couch when they should be working. 

Migrants do the jobs iwi's feel they're too posh to do in society. It's hard work. Honest work. And it needs to be done. 

Why not let people who want to work, work. And you don't, you don't get anything. 

Fish till your hearts content. 

But this country should be filled with ambitious people who want to make the most of it.

That's what FTAs do and I can't understand people don't it.
