Corporate this, corporate that...who owns these corporations? SHARE HOLDERS...middle and upper class of every country. So, when they take the production of products that workers here made $14-19 per hour and moved that production out of this country (China), the percent of profits increases 8-10 fold. WELL NOW...where do these profits go???? Wouldn't be the share holders would it??? Your fellow citizens...those that own shares in these countries, have, over the last 40 years, increased their wealth by that 8-10 times profit...IT'S YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS THAT HAVE GIVEN THE DOMINATE POSITION IN THE MANUFACTURING WORLD OVER TO CHINA.


Shareholders then turn around and spend that return on investment on goods made in China and elsewhere. Short term gains at the expense of National strength and security. Almost everything purchased today by the consumer is hostage to parts and components made beyond our shores.

Paper money versus hard assets. I'll take hard assets every time.
