Nice graphic, but it’s more like a flood up.
Actually, I don’t attribute our problems to communism. Our problems are due unemployment due to stupid trade policies. We lowered the import tariffs till they are almost non-existent. We tariff 1% but tax domestic producers 10% on labor. So there is a large tax incentive to off-shore.
Nevermind that it’s stupid to have free trade with countries that have massive amounts of unemployment. You’re just asking to have your industries devastated and to import their unemployment problem.
And then there’s immigration, illegal and legal in a period of high unemployment.
