The economic deceiving of American conservatives


The neoconservatives have duped most Republicans and conservatives into supporting the decline and fall of manufacturing and workers in America, when the benefits of globalism have gone to corporate salaries and dividends for shareholders, at the great expense of gutting America manufacturing and abandoning the American middle class and working class.

Not long ago our workers had pay and benefits better than anywhere in the world, because America taxed foreign products coming into this country, and with this money they financed almost 50 percent of the government, while protecting American-made products and American workers.  Also taxes on Americans and on American corporations could this way be lower.

It was not the cost of production that made Corporate America move their factories out of America, it was the great scam promoted where corporate America could risk opening our borders to all foreign products if in return they could move their production out of the U. S. to low wage countries---then they could ship the cheaply made products back to America and pocket the difference, which was a great deal of of money.

The idea was to try to create America on a global scale, with no borders as the open borders of the 50 states, and abolish all trade barriers and tariffs.

All of this came at the great expense of the loss of American manufacturing, the destruction of the American worker, and the loss of the tariffs that helped to run the government and keep taxes low.

Most Republicans and conservatives bought this whole globalist scam.

There are no viable politicians now supporting the economic nationalism which made this whole country great. Will viable politicians rise as the disaster to America increases?

(See Pat Buchanan's essay on this scam here.)
