name one! More on point: there are not enough of them.
The job of balancing an economy is not the job of simply supporting industries over which you can kick ass it is the job of making sure that there are enough industries in your nation to secure full employment, that your trade deficits are as low as possible, that your exports are robust.....
And most importantly that you can afford to produce the products that promote defense.
Off shoring to the cheapest bidder undermines all of that. And weakens America by the day.
We are NOT just an economy, we are a NATION!
The needs of the economy and the economic players are not at all the same as the needs of the nation.
So who do you serve? The USA or the bottom line of corporations that have no loyalty to the USA?
So you want people to spend more to buy only american products and to have less material wealth so we can prop up american industries that cannot compete? So as Americans we should be happy to pay double what the rest of the world pays for sugar and support import quotas so a handful farmers in the U.S. dont have to compete against the rest of the world?
As far as who I serve, I serve myself, my interests, and my wallet.
that's pathetic.
Youre arguments are pathetic and your only buy american brand of altruism is laughable, consumers should be able to buy what ever products they want and statist measures such as tarriffs or quotas should be used scarcely.
Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. - Ayn Rand
