Rich Americans don't care so much about being Americans as they do being rich. If they can get richer by selling out America, they will. In fact, they did and continue to do so.
And I'm not asking that 100% of us be rich. I'm asking for unemployment to be below 10% so wages go up with profits. Instead foreigners are getting our work and CEO's are getting rich. But we are left behind. America must protect its middle class. Every other country does. And when we stopped, that's when the economy crashed.
Look what $4 a gallon did. It was a big contributor to the recession. People who drove for a living went out of business. People went further into debt too because they were pissing their money away on gas.
And we weren't spending on other things so we went into a recession. Its more than that, but you must at least grasp that.
And if you feel the way you do, then you aren't a good citizen. You aren't a bad one, but you certainly aren't one that contributes to society.
But the funny thing is, conservatives are quick to help their neighbors. But when we ask them to help the overall poor, that's when they get cheap and greedy.
A great country isn't defined by how it treats its richest citizens, but by how it treats its poorest. Remember that.
And the CEO's of these corporations that went overseas. They too aren't obligated to care about the American middle class. They only care about profits. So that is what our government is for. If their business doesn't benefit America, then we do something about it. Tarriff them or shut them down. Or at least take away any tax breaks they are getting.
