Already sold—by Corporate America, our pols, and our bureaucrats.
Yes, this is a silly question - the proof stares us in the face daily...
They are erasing the concept of “American”.
No, corporate America is not selling out our country.
The government unions are not selling out our country.
The politicians who creates a system to enrich themselves by taking money from corporations and unions are the ones selling out our country.
Politicians from both parties.
Corporations and unions just want an advantage. Politicians give them a chance to “buy” an advantage.
Root of corruption is our politicians.
And the education industry has made our students unemployable.
Between that and cell phones, so many have no clue how to do even the simplest tasks.
“I hate google....”
I don’t hate google as much as believe they perpetrated - and continue - unforgivable crimes against the US and society as a whole. Twenty-five years ago or so, their search engine was a wonder I still cannot comprehend. That wonder was betrayed when they began playing political s**t-games.
Insofar as companies having allegiance to the US, look to WWII for precedent. Global economy is nothing new and past may well be prologue.
General Motors, Ford and IBM are examples of US companies that worked all sides of war efforts in the US, Great Britain and Europe. They also benefited from the post-war Marshall Plan expenditures.
No knowledge of similar US business investments in Japan during the WWII years.
There's plenty wrong with it in theory. Rockefellerism has always been about tearing at the chains nonstop and treating the law as a tool while pretending to respect it.
This all goes to show why Natural Law, not legal positivism, is the right conceptual framework for American civics. We are back to just-plain right and wrong because in our day, "if you don't like the law, then change it" is beautiful like the old Soviet constitution.
This is to say nothing of selling out American workers by bringing in hordes of cheap labor. I’d say the major corporations have been selling America and Americans out for quite some time.
A nice big fat import tariff would cure all globalist corporate evils. It’s the only thing they fear. The whole lobbying effort in DC is to keep the US consumer market ( the golden ring ) duty free while protecting foreign markets from US made goods. It is a massive ongoing screw job of the American worker of monumental proportions. It’s driving us towards socialism.
Unions are a non factor. 7% of the workforce and declining every year. They have no power. Labor in the USA is a political orphan.
Been saying this for years
Freedoms Forge, by Arthur Herman, the story of Americas industry answering the call to arms at the beginning of WW2 is a fascinating story.
I strongly recommend it, once you start it you will not put it down.
Our war manufacturing effort was led William Knudsen of GM, a Danish Immigrant.
Yes. Next question?
We have a classic fascist system in place here, where the lines between corporate and government interests have become almost completely eliminated.
Also during this time the humanists, atheists, satanists, homo perverts, et al, have become mainstream, all of which have destroyed what America was supposed to be.
This has been evolving for over a half century. It's like an elderly parent who raised spoiled, narcissistic, indolent children and is horrified at what messes they became. But there's nothing he can do to fix it. It's too late.
The question should have been asked about 25 years ago.
It’s a symbiotic relationship. Two parasites feeding on each other. Politicians and corporate entities are playing together for their common good, not for the good of America.
The politicians are selling us out too.

Concur re: Natural Law.
For the rest, yes...IF govt actually FOLLOWED, let alone enforced, the Law. There is ZERO Justice in our once Republic just-us system (3 co-equal circle jerk)
YES. Corporate America Is Selling Out Our Country and Smiling While Doing It. To Them We Are the Enemy.
The indoctrinated youts from our pubic schools since decades ago (hippie era) are now in positions of corporate power.
Many privately owned smaller companies have been gobbled up by big corporations, and are now under that guidance.
I lay the demise of America’s morality, virtuousness and Godliness squarely at the feet of our pubic school teachers, going back to the 1960’s.
