Excellent piece....and I agree those are five things that need to be discussed, but is too PC (even for the going-liberal Fox News).
One more to add.....
The Failure of Free Trade, and how so-called conservatives agree with George Soros, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and other far-lefties....agree on Free Trade....and the refusal to discuss its outright failure
Actually, demonizing Free Trade is a great example of leftist anti-merit thought that is similar to these anyone else.
God did not give us some Right to be more prosperous than others automatically. If they can outcompete us, then so be it.
And before you say that is anti-American, I would say that trying to complain about it is like getting mad at gravity. No matter how much protectionism you try, why should our customers around the world buy from us rather than a better deal elsewhere? If we're a better deal, then benefits would come to us. If we're not, how can you complain that nobody wants to do business with us?
Global markets are a fact of reality. Closing our eyes to that fact doesn't make it go away.
