Look you can feel good about America, advocate for America, wave Old Glory if you want. It will not change the fact that The People, and their government see Corporations and wealthy people as objects to loot. As long as that is the case the inexorable result will be corporations and wealthy individuals will find other ways of doing business. They will move overseas. They will figure out other ways of doing business. The USA has absolutely no inherent right to wealth and productivity.
These things must be earned through competition in an international market. but instead “we” loot corporations and individuals. So they go elsewhere. No amount of flag waving will change that.
I don’t know.
When I go in any store, a majority of the things to buy, were made in the Peoples Republic of China.
China is (rapidly) becoming stronger. Their population is four or five times our own.
China is becoming wealthy quickly. Quite quickly. For an entire generation we have been basically staying steady, while China has been rapidly growing.
Now America and China are roughly equivalent.
The problem is, our trade is wildly unbalanced, so our countries will not remain equivalent.
China will take the lead.
China is closed. China very completely, maintains control in China. Including in businesses.
I am just saying that our own companies, are selling out our own interests.
American companies are selling out, America! This is infuriating. Our own companies, are building much of the stuff they sell right here at home ... in the Peoples Republic of China.
Bring back jobs, and production, to America.
