Sad, capitalism has degenerated to anti-American outsourcing.
What I say is true in this world.
Capitalist are not in charge. They were not in Charge when they developed TARP. And that is a large part of the problem.
The cure to quasi-socialism is not pure socialism.
It will just make things worse.
Capitilist and all liberty loving Americans need to fight the good fight in every area of life and not just give in.
If giving up is what you want to do might as well become an Islamic socialist and preach about “social justice.”
Uh, I have said nothing about giving up. But the Islamic socialist are not in the big business of preaching 'social justice'. That falls under the majority of mainstream American religions right now.... Remember 'compassionate conservatism'?
You are 100% correct!
It is sad to see FReepers falling for the liberal/union anti-free trade propoganda.
We have a serious problem with over-spending politicians and an anti-business climate full of regulations and taxes.
Just look at the local level for proof. A company wants to open in your area and the first thing you see is people complaining about the increased traffic, noise and out-of-towners who will be attracted by the new business.
Then the local politicians step in with zoning hearings and multiple “studies”.
Then the environmentalists start with lawsuits and injunctions. They always seek to protect some creature, even if it is from a solar cell factory.
Once the business is open, the unions look to organize the workforce.
If the business is successful, liberals call for special taxes on it to mitigate whatever fantasy-danger they have created. Local politicians line up to get their cut so budgets do not have to be restrained.
If the business wants to expand, it has to go through the whole process again.
So for those FReepers who blame free trade, just STFU!
