This is what it comes down to: Globalists vs. Patriots. It’s all good and well to grovel at the altar of “Free Trade”, but you cannot deny that the globalists and international bankers have gotten rich off the dismantling of economies world wide. Do you think Soros is the only villain?
Go on Youtube and watch “Argentina’s Economic Collapse”. It’s a multiple-part series about how globalists came in and cherry-picked the productive assets of the country and left their government, which is no more or less corrupt than our own, hopelessly in debt.
The truth is that the average IQ is still 100. An average worker in any industrial country wants to work with things, not ideas. These people have been taught for a hundred years that they should be able to make a living working 40 hours per week. Any less and they think the boss is shorting their hours; any more and they are being screwed unless they get bonus pay.
In the town where I grew up, the cotton mills are gone. The machines have been crated up and sent God-knows-where, and the buildings have been torn down. I’m not saying that cotton mill jobs were the greatest jobs ever, but average people could make a living there. In order to change that for the better, the educational establishment would have had to shift the bell curve to the right, and we all know that hasn’t happened.
Great post.
