Quote from Debaser82:
My newspaper the other day had pictures in it of huge Boeiings (or where it Airbusses?
) loading up subway trains in Germany ready to be flown to India.
Now why would anyone want to buy their subway trains in Germany?
The euro is probably one of the most expensive currencies in the world.
And India has a billion + population where engineers graduate by the millions.
Can't they make their own little trains?
Or is there more to it then cheap labour afterall?
Obviously....it will be a mix....of both highly educated high tech products as well as basic low tech products and those in between....
The majority of the population needs something to do.... so that they will have the coin to amortize these airbuses....
As one already knows....the majority of jobs come from small business....
..........................................................................
You already know these things but they all add up....
1) failed politics....the 2 party by advertising lobbyst system has got to go....to be replaced by internet township govt....
2) Improved tax policies.....ie 10% VAT only....
The progressive take is a failing proposition....
3) Legal largesse....too high a % of each product price....
and has become a fascist big business tool....due to lobbysts, etc....This has got to go....
4) Govt. must downsize....refuses to do so....
5) Affordable education....internet based
6) Medicine....prohibitive costs....not sustainable....
If the US adopted the 10% VAT and eliminated the individual/corp. tax....this alone would restore manufacturing and other businesses....The best companies in the world would flock to the US....along with lots of jobs....
