You’ve hit the nail on the head. Unless we can get our manufacuring base back, this country is finished as a major power. We’ll end up as some sort of puppet of China.
But will someone - anyone - please answer this question for me:
WHY ISN’T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?
Why isn’t any major Republican (Palin included) saying “Here’s my plan to bring manufacturing back.”
Why isn’t any major Democrat (Obama included) saying “Here’s my plan to bring manufacturing back.”
Why is every major politician ignoring this?
To bring back manufacturing to the US would require a major overhaul of the tax system. Replace this one with one that doesn’t punish the productive class, something like the ‘Fair Tax’.
