They became outsourcing consultants.
OTOH, what is wrong with this: “We don’t want to be making shoes — we’re making pharmaceuticals, software, high-tech cars. That’s how you become a rich country.”
The only thing I see wrong with it is that most of the high-tech is done by Asian H1-B engineers and you say that’s ‘insane’. Insanity - affirmative action in colleges; funding useless liberal arts instead of focus on science, engineering and math; without qualified graduates, we either need H1-B folks to fill roles or watch jobs go overseas.
All these tax lovers and the admin don't do a thing? Maybe it's not a troll attack but just an info problem.
History: back in the 1700's some patriots rebelled against the UK's import taxes and they had a tea party so the import tax lovers fled to Canada. Our problem now is we got New England import tax lovers joined with the Detroit payroll tax lovers, the Chicago income tax lovers and the California everything tax lovers and they're all are in congress taxing and spending all they can before today's tea party kicks them out.
Then we'll only have tax lovers on threads like these...
