Washington had LOTS of help right at the grass roots level here at home. Wall Street and EVERY corporate boardroom worked hand in hand with .gov to give our technology, manufacturing processes and trade secrets to them in exchange for the ability to obtain higher profit margins. Lower costs of production, less regulations and rules, unbalanced tariffs and fees and currency manipulation made things the mess it is today.
Offshoring.
Subcontracting.
Downsizing.
EPA regulations here at home restricting nearly everything.
Oh, but those corporate employers kept America working, huh?
Growing those stock portfolios, 401K's and IRA's?
Enjoying those imported medications?
Like those low, low prices?
Supply/Demand. Won't be fixed by giving a retailer a hard time.
