Quote from intradaybill:
Good post. However, the politicians of the West are corrupted and possibly have conspired to screw their citizens in favor of Asians. They continue doing so. They only know the reasons.
Several factors came into play in the last 10-20 years in the US which together contributed to the current malaise...
-Arrogant politicians, public
-A "we're #1" attitude
-Crooked politicians and corporate elite
-way too much "prestige" paid to smart asses out of big universities.
-Too much emphasis on "financial engineering"
-Lazy, out of shape population
-Too many programs at state & Federal level making these people confortable enough living on food stamps, etc.
-Top 10% of population needs to pay more taxes
-Penalties should be instituted for jobs that are exported overseas.
I could go on & on but there's a huge list of shit that US needs to correct.
Remember, it begins with YOU!
Only YOU can prevent further demise.
Act today! Put off buying that big screen, Asian car, toy, concentrate juice, plastic gadget, etc.
It's too bad that the politicians themselves can't come out and explicitly SAY this but it needs to be addressed now.
Every piece of imported crap you buy produces several things...
1. Further depreciates your dollars.
2. Contributes to unemployment.
3. Pepetuates a fucked up, consumption based society.
