America is the single largest consumer market in the world. (for now) A lot of Americans could make a lot of money selling to Americans.

You know my biggest expenses are house and student loan payments. I buy hardly any crap from China. I also grow a lot of my own food.

It is sad that it takes two incomes to support what one income could support in 1970.

The road to American prosperity is not hopping on the cheap labor express.

So BMWs are built with cheap labor? As are Audi’s and Hondas?

Or are they simply better cars?

There are lots of real objective reasons why life in America sucks:

1) Too much government
2) Too high taxes
3) Too much spending
4) Too much welfarism
5) Too few fathers
6) Awful Education
7) Too much bureaucracy
8) Too much regulation
9) Too many illegal immigrants (one is too many, IMO) driving down wages for actual Americans.

The full dead-weight-loss of all those things has been horrific. The American middle-class has been devastated as a result.

There is no need to then ascribe that horror to the idea that you or I can choose what products to buy and from whom we may buy on pain of higher taxes for the governmental leviathan. The policies above are completely capable by themselves in causing the difficulties to which you point.

Sounds like you have a problem with government. I’ll bet you like being able to go to the store and buy products and services that meet your needs. That being a fact, I can’t imagine you wanting to dictate to others what’s in their best interest. But here you are.
