Corporations sent those jobs to China to jack up share prices.
That caused higher unemployment.
That allows them to say that “market forces” allow them to pay their workers less money for more work every year.
Meanwhile the stock market is the only “prosperity” left in the US (and that is mostly due to gummint bail-out money).
I can’t afford to “Buy American” anymore because I make my money from my labor and not from my excess money.
But, none of that has anything to do with the OP.
Respectfully, all of this has a great deal to do with the original post.
Thanks for your reply.
America needs to make things once again. Bring back manufacturing to America.
In the meantime to stop importing everything, let’s immediately start charging people to import stuff.
Just saying.
How much taxation is appropriate, is clearly a matter for discussion, but we have been de-industrializing what had just one generation ago been the world’s foremost manufacturing economy so extensively that now virtually every store in America is simply a sales hub for stuff actually made by Chinese employees on Chinese manufacturing lines.
Bring back American jobs now.
