Um.

Let’s not mis-represent things here.

China made a lot of money for themselves, and a lot of Americans, but we now need to look out for America.

Bring back American businesses.

We need to start building up America once again.

Just saying.

We didn’t really “kick out” our manufacturers.

They moved to where they could take full advantage of dirt-cheap labor in China.

There is a problem however. China isn’t America. America doesn’t receive protections in China.

China is becoming ever more powerful, and is selling America a huge amount of what we used to produce right here in America.

I say it is time to stop sending American industry to foreign manufacturers.

Bring back US jobs.

Now.

I would like to see more manufacturing jobs here in the United States, too. How many manufacturing jobs did we have here in 1960 and how many do we have now? If all those jobs left to China because the wages were lower, how can we overcome that? Pay our workers less? We could slap a tariff on Chinese products, but then the price of the products to Americans goes up. How do we overcome that?
The Democrats profit by having more government employees. Government employees CONSUME tax money. This tax money comes, for the most part, from the private/business sector. Every dollar taken from the private sector to pay a government employee’s wages, is a dollar a business can’t use to improve its competition with foreign companies. Even the taxes taken from wages actually hurts the business, too. Would the employees be happier and work harder if they received the money taken from their wages for taxes? I think so.
The sad part is that the Democrats know this, but they don’t care. Government workers vote Democrat. Welfare recipients vote Democrat. The Democrats will destroy the private sector in this country to get elected.
