Beyond that, Buchanan is broadening his message to court voters whose wages have stayed flat or fallen while corporate earnings and executive salaries have soared. He claims both parties are too willing to "bow down to a gold calf" of free trade, sacrificing "American jobs on the altars of transnational corporations."
