Our very own political leaders did this to us. Why? To make themselves rich of course.....
Business leaders also and let’s not forget ourselves. Is there anyone who hasn’t shopped at walmart? People were right to boycott walmart years ago when they were killing every small town they opened up near. Once the walmart business model became accepted, everyone did it. All the old name brands that used to be high quality are now chinajunk. Clothing went the way of foreign sweatshops decades ago and now it’s everything. Appliances, tools, auto parts, home furnishings etc etc.
No, our corporate leaders did this to us. You will even find many here on Free Republic who think it was a great idea to increase the profit at the retail levels well beyond the usury range. Always remember that Hewlett Packard and Walmart led that charge.
I agree, they did...but we’re all responsible. Our buying decisions, craving forever cheaper goods, with no regard where they’re made, encouraged corporations to move manufacturing to China - or go under as they won’t be competitive.
We all need to change. Start demanding that you won’t buy products from China. Unless the consumer changes nothing will change.
I’ve been saying that over the last 30+ years, Wall Street and Washington sold out Main Street to China for the profit of the former two, at the expense of the latter.
This guy is saying the same thing in a more visceral way.
