We have institutionalized globalism. Our institutions practically require American companies to go offshore and when they do, the same politicians who by their laws and regulations have forced them offshore, will accuse them of being unpatriotic. If we complain of foreign companies being brought into America we are charged with everything from racism to jingoism.
No one cares anymore because to do so is to lift one's head above the parapet and risk getting it shot off. Who wants to battle charges of racism, nativism, and (gasp) anti-Americanism? And to what ends? Prophets have all been wrung out of logging in Arizona and elsewhere by regulations which smother the industry and which have undercut the infrastructure needed to support it. There is no upside to political incorrectness or fighting the system in any way.
Until we have a culture that exalts capitalism and does so fearlessly by that name, I see very little hope of improvement.
