Our incandescent factories are closed by law so China can make the bulbs that are a toxic clean up if they break.
Is this not spread the wealth politics in action? We loose our manufacturing to overseas not because they can build the widget cheaper or better but because we are only allowed to build widgets AND pay fees, environmental reports, taxes and permits. Our Government adds so much additional hidden taxes that the paperwork cost more than the widget does. America is only allowed to participate in the free trade market battle with both our hands tied behind our backs.
So also on the other end, in material supply. We are not allowed to use our own coal or oil, we are forced to buy it internationally. This causes a massive capitol shift to pay for imports and breaks the bank at home. I believe that America is being bled dry on purpose to fulfill the progressive vision of share the wealth internationally, not by incompetent laws, and fools but by very carefully crafted and excused laws, and treason.
It's called the New World Order.
