That would be because of the "leaders" we vote into office not because of the relations we have with particular governments.
You know how many people have actually been returning to Vietnam recently because there it's easier to open up a business than it is in this nation of ours? That's very telling.
Your comment made me remember back during the Bush vs Kerry election where these people from France were trying to get Americans to vote against Bush. I told them to stay out of our politics. They told me that they have a right to get involved in our elections because the results of our elections have a direct effect on their country.
I responded with: "Well, that's a sign of no leadership in your own country. Perhaps you should focus more on your own elections and less on that of other nations."
It’s only easier to open a business in Vietnam as a means to an end, just like Red China. As soon as the big enemy (the USA) comes down, watch things change rapidly.
The fact that we have the highest corporate tax rate on the planet certainly indicates how far left the DC elite politicians have taken us.
Incidentally, as for France, they surrendered their sovereignty to the “European Union” decades ago. Never mind their continued predilection to vote for avowed and open socialists.
