Your misunderstanding of the way of the world seems near total. We no longer live in a world of limited travel, of limited communications of limited business. We live in a world of global trade.
Global trade means that the products we consume are sourced globally. Your PET/CT Scan is likely done on a machine and with equipment containing components from all over the world. Your TV set or smart phone or automobile contains elements from all over.
I think that if you knew about American very small corporations that operate in many many places in the world you would be astounded. They have very few employees, less than a hundred or so but compete in global markets because they have truly great products.
The corporations are not greedy, the multinationals are capitalist. You seem to oppose capitalism at it’s most basic level. You seem to oppose the freedom to have and grow a business.
Opposition to capitalism and to freedom are very telling attributes.
Global corporations lobbying our Congress to allow them to produce and outsource technology that US taxpayers subsidized, and that negativley impacts our security is not in our national interest.
Contrary to the opinion of globalists, national security and sovereignty should always (we know it doesn’t because they own our politicians) trump Wall St and profits.
Excellent post! This thread has attracted a lot of anti-capitalists. They belong in DU, not here.
