At this rate Capitalism looks even more hopeless than Communism.
Why?
A.) Capitalism will eventually outsource all the decent jobs which doesn't happen in Communism.
B.) Capitalism is leading to cultural replacement by immigrants here for cheap labor.
That has little to do with capitalism. That has to do with the American consumer.
Since the 80's, our country has become obsessed with cheap. I don't care where it's made, what the quality, just sell it to me as cheap as possible.
So you and I are competitors in the widget business. You pay your workers well and offer great benefits. I decide to move my operations overseas. Now I start taking your customers because I can produce my widgets and ship them back to the US for half the cost it takes to make yours. Now you have two choices: move overseas like I did, or join your former employees in the Unemployment Line.
That's the problem.
and the fix is simple, put tariffs on the foreign built crap, or don't buy it and opt for quality at a higher price.
Even easier criminalize outsourcing throw a few bastids behind bars & problem solved by example
that is a socialist tactic, but you are a socialist, so I understand why you would suggest that.
Who cares?
I care more about someone being put behind bars for outsourcing jobs, then arresting someone for peeing down in an ally-way.
PS
A lot of states used to be so strict in their corporate charters, that they wouldn't even allow transfers between US states of factory jobs, or even sometimes goods.
So, this "Socialism" you're speaking of, is NOTHING NEW, ton of states did just that back in the day.
so you want to punish a business for doing its business in the most profitable way? Why not just change our tax policy so that there would be no financial incentive for outsourcing or moving operations out of this country? Why not have a business friendly government ? What do you have against private industry creating American jobs in America?
