Understood, but corporate america has access to federal government legislators. If they so desired, they could have asked for protection via tax law breaks.
I understand that NAFTA, a globalist agenda vehicle, put the kabash on that (if I am informed correctly). But corporate america supported NAFTA to open up global work force for their profits! So I go back to putting blame on the board members of corporate america for the present destruction of US economy.

Pro business conservatives and freepers call it free enterprise. I call the stupid policy Wall Street capitalism under democratic government. China claims they found a better version call authoritarian capitalism and argue that the developing world should adopt it. The Chinese claim their version is better. One way to resolve this is look at our ledger. After the 1980’s the US democratic Wall Street capitalism is deep in corporate, gov, trade and personal debt and deficit. The Chinese on the other hand has all the money. Maybe we better review our beliefs and find something better then Wall Street capitalism, let us restore what use to work called free markets (capitalism bound by sense of nation and morality).
You are off by a geographic mile.
NAFTA involves only trade with Mexico and Canada.
