America the largest economy in the world, yet a great many of its citizens are living at the poverty line. Not too many sustainable employment. America borrows trillions of dollars from the Chinese to sustain its governments.

 

American products are built in foreign countries, marketed to Americans at high prices. The profits, skimmed off to tax havens. The wealthy lives in Switzerland-care very little for what really what goes on in America.

 

Trump cares about America. Trump cares about white people. Trumps knows all the white people cannot immigrate but everybody on the face of the earth would love to get to America. Every refugee longs for America, Canada is only a step away from the great USA.  

 

America keep going the way it is going, not even the hispanic or the muslim would wish to live in the USA. Who wants to live in a poor country infested with crimes. 

 

American Business is not keen on jobs for Americans. I doubt whether Trump can change their mindset.

 

Trumps thinks of white america. They are the backbone upon which america was built. All its innovations.

The stock exchange is some 7 to 8 times what it was in the late 80s so why is America behaving like it is so poor? There is great inequality of wealth because of the shift from US production to off shore one. Nothing wrong with that but there needs to be a check in place to curtail the current practices of these mostly US based companies. All the nonsense that one hears from politicians does not protect Americans like they all claim they have the answer to. The best method to punish these businesses for their unfair practices is to add a huge tariff to their imports and then use that to alleviate the shortage of opportunities in America. The US is still the world's largest market and spends more on everything than anyone so lets see if these corporations say no thank you to the US market as they do to their savings as they park them offshore. Only then they will make the common sense decision that since it is still as if they were operating in the US, they will come crawling back since the Made in the US stamp is still number one in the world to reliability and confidence. Politicians can't see that connection but we are getting there where it will be much more difficult to ignore it. Last week, a 24 something years old with a business admin degree accepted a shipping and receiving position at our company. When I read that announcement, I suddenly thought of the future of my two kids especially since my kids aren't going to be athletes. I am sure many other parents do the same.

I watched Dragons Den this week where one fellow was making running shoes in Africa,giving work to a village where not much exists and still make a decent profit.The material used is also from that part of the world. One of the dragons (Mr Wonderful(not) ) had the nerve to tell the guy if he invested in the product,he would prefer to send it to China and have it made for much less. The guy didn't take his offer he stood firm.

I know it's not Made in US but just to show the mindset of these people, we're only making 120% let's try for 180%. It's all about GREED.

 

When we were in the woodworking buz we would make beautiful dolls houses for around $100 and we made a half decent profit. The garden center took quantities of them for around $60each..they then sold them for over $300. Again  GREED!

My point exactly. A few years ago, the Republicans were making fun at the US government by boasting that Apple has more quick, nay cash than the US government. In 2005 when I bought my daughter an iPod for her 10th birthday. Even the engraving of her name was done in China before they shipped it directly to us. Apple sells the iPhone 6 for 600-800 dollars. How many people outside of the US can really afford to contribute to Apple having more cash than the US government? Now I do like Apple products because they are tastefully designed and dependable but that is beside the point.

How about a Tariff on Apple Products ?

I believe that all Apple products are made in China. Similarly there should be a 'punitive' tariff on their imports also.

Made by Foxconn they are big.
