What is business supposed to do?
If you have an unqualified workforce, that's not highly motivated and tax policy dramatically reduces your return on investment why would a business invest here?
If you want prosperity and the opportunity for a better life you need to lay the ground work with a solid educational system, tax policy that rewards success and a culture that prides individual responsibility and hard work. We have been going in the opposite direction for a lot of years.
When you ship out the good paying jobs, people can’t afford their mortgages. They can go on credit short term, but then that runs out, too. We shouldn’t have enacted free trade with any nation that has no pollution laws and no OSHA. It’s not a level playing field.
