Negotiators need limits on power

Some of our public officials -- including non-elected negotiators -- believe that the assets of the earth belong to all of the people of the earth, and must be shared equally. One of the questions this raises is, should South Korea have to share with North Korea, which has used its assets on armaments? Where does responsibility enter in?

Where do our negotiators get the right to negotiate for the benefit of all the rest of the world? What happened to their oaths to the U.S.?

Do we pay them to export our jobs? How do they know the total mind of God as to who needs what, and at whose expense? Does God now reward people for taking from some and giving to others? How do we define theft?

Term limits on congressmen would not touch this problem. We need curbs on negotiators that exceed their powers and violate their oaths.
