We would have more people working, if we weren’t sending jobs elsewhere.

Those jobs do not belong to us. They belong to the companies that create them. If those countries are taxed and Union infested to the point where it's not worth staying in this country - can you blame them?

China, Mexico, India, Italy, Peru, Chile did not come here and take those jobs away from us. They are obviously more business friendly than the United States.

You can have your trade war but it will not fix the problem that caused the downgrade.

Tax a company to death and they'll either go out of business or go elsewhere to survive. Happens everytime.

Requiring China to Tax Tax Tax and allow Unions so that the consumer can pay more for the products they buy is not the answer.

The problem is here in the USA not in all those other countries where American companies now call home.

Darn and here I thought I had found common ground with you, so we could stop arguing momentarily. :)

I can and I do. Yes. I blame "American" companies which sell our nation out. Yes I blame them. Heck yes.
