Yeah but when you walk through walmart it’s not Made in Germany that you see on all the products.


Forget walmart the Chinese are cutting them out and mailing direct to consumer from China now. I’ve seen some very slick chicom online retail ads recently. You’d never guess it was a Chinese company.

Our industries have been shifting from the U.S. to Europe, Asia, and South America ever since the end of World War II. And since then almost every President has stepped it up. When I was a kid, there were factories all over the country. Now, they’re all gone.

Germany is bitching about less than a 1% return on all that.

“invade Poland”

Poland is better armed now-so I don’t think that will work for them like it did before...

as it would provide government revenues.


While adding same tariff to the cost of the item,
so that providing government revenues is just a fig
leaf for screwing the taxpayer. Again.

Eliminate a quarter of government spending which would leave a lot more money in our pockets to be invested in the US. Turn capitalism loose.

With jobs RETURNING to America, will Germany need Middle Eastern migrants to work in their factories?

I’m sure your innovative, motivated, educated, young immigrant workforce will be more than capable of driving your economy, that’s what you said they were for, right?

“Now THAT’S a headline!”

Indeed. However, I’m not holding my breath while waiting for this story to appear on any MSM broadcast.

It always seems as if those “global rules” favor other countries at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. It is about time those rules swing back in OUR favor for a change.

Well, obviously if you are trying to hold Europe up as an example of a superior welfare state to our own, then this kind of “tax competition” is grossly unfair and a deliberate attempt to make Socialism look bad. :)
