Riight again. Because the Zenith TVs, Philco radios and Chevrolet Bel Airs (all US made) that our forebears purchased were approved by some faceless commisar? Okay, again.

No, see, its the other way around.

Try to understand. You're so close.

It's because the Zenith TVs, Philco radios and Chevrolet Bel Airs (all US made) WERE NOT approved by some faceless commissar that they were so successful.

These quality US brands were made by free men, working for their own profit and not burdened by the crushing hand of socialism.

Put the clock forward by 60 years and - lo - US industry has been driven out from America as if by an Angel with a flaming sword.

“US industry has been driven out from America as if by an Angel with a flaming sword”


Not driven out, but cheerfully abandoned America. And the “angel with a flaming” sword was the understandable urge by CEOs to make as much money as possible, even if that meant moving to some Fourth World dump where workers could be paid almost nothing and refuse could be dumped almost anywhere. And if that meant the American worker got screwed in the process, then that was his tough luck.
