If we had listened to the likes of Thomas Sowell decades ago, corporations and industry wouldn’t be in the situation of having to make a choice about shipping our manufacturing overseas.
It is our abuse of our tax base and spending more than we take in that has put us in the position of making foreign manufacturing a financially attractive option.
It's not attractive to millions of workers and economically devastated cities and small towns all over the USA that once were the engine of the economy. This is the rub, you can make a great profit making things in the USA and selling to other Americans, or you can make a little more profit, increase the margin, using coolie labor and 3rd world labor. These Free Traitors can only get away with this because the likes of Sowell spread false economic theory and apply falsely the idea of comparative advantage between the 3rd world and the 1st world.
If Adam Smith has proposed in the 18th century to off shore all of England's factories to the 3rd world ( in this case the colonies ) and re import those goods duty free he would have been hung. Yet our Free Traitors walk around with nary a worry in the world. I don't get it. Their time is coming though..
