It is interesting to notice that while Bernie is correct about Chinese poverty no one seems to want to point out that it was the American consumer who did that. To our detriment. Cudos to the Chinese for almost eliminating poverty but since I am an American I am not quite as thrilled knowing it was done on our backs.

Yep. The Chicoms built their military and pulled their people out of abject poverty with OUR money. I was looking at US city data on Wikipedia recently. The largest employers in our cities and counties are almost always hospitals and schools now. The Chicoms & globalists stole our jobs to enrich themselves. No doubt in my mind.

"On our backs" seems to indicate that it was somehow against our wishes. But we chose less costly over made here, willingly in most cases.
