Quote by: Technosoul Right now China is in control with their "affordable work force and lack for interest in regulation for safty and polution". To compete with that we would have to distroy America with polution and force people to work for a bowl of rice a day. We must not compete in that way and must find a way to liberate our self from that manner of competition, by being smart enough to become whole and complete within our own boarders as much as possible, like we used to be.

No! That is just want alternative that isn't plausible. The better way is to reduce corporation taxation to $0 (the only way to do this is the fair tax), reduce over-bearing regulations, put more money in alternative fuels and cut any one-sided trade agreements and mirror any trade restrictions that a country puts on us.

Now total isolation is perhaps not the answer ether, as they do that in North Korea and that system is not working for them, partly because their govenment puts too much focus on taking pride in a large military, they have the 4th largest military in the world (people wise).

Correct NK is not who we should model after!

The objective for a sound America is not just to secure that big business can get bigger and richer, but to insure that the whole economy gets stronger and that our quality of life improves - here in our country, not globally.

That is a paradox. The way for America's economy to get stronger is for the Corporations to be prosperous and making money. If corporations are producing more and making more money they hire more people. If there are more competing corporations state side then they give US workers more of an ability to negotiate their wages! See if the government imposes too much on American corporations they LEAVE and take jobs with them. The remaining ones have a surplus of qualified employees to pick from, hence they don't have to pay them as much.

Unless as you put it that we want to sacrifice workers safety and the environment, as China, India and Mexico do (which I don't think we could effectively compete even if with did), then we have to beat them at a different game. The game is the fair tax, aka $0 taxation on American Corporations!

It is such a perfect fit!

We have exported jobs to India, Mexico, China and other asian countries, and yet that charity has not improved the fate of most of the people in those countries.

That is simply not true! I read an article in the Wall Street Journal a while back about the rapidly growing Chinese economy. The Indians that work in American companies make a good living in India. I have a few customer that moved their call centers to Mexico. Corporations that need education Mexicans are creating a growing middle class in Mexico!
