With the economy in the tank and each day looking bleaker and bleaker, it seems that the United States is on the road to collapse in just a few short years. This was once a nation of ideas and industry, a place where the world looked to see what was new and novel. A place where each and every other nation wished to emulate as they grew their own economies using the same tools and ideas that we discarded as we developed new methods to improve what we already had. We were a nation of exporters as well as consumers, yet as we look around today, all that we see is a nation of couch potatoes who have no more ambition than that of a rotten egg rolling down the sidewalk. What can we do to improve our lot and bring back what once was?
In a word, we need to renew the process of protecting our own industry as those who surround us do each and every day. Did you know that a car built in the United States and later shipped to China has a duty tax of nearly 100%? Or that in times past, the nation of Japan would submit our electronics to rigorous testing that would include submersion in water in order to restrict the flow of imports into their nation? Unfair you say! Yes, it is unfair, but life in general is unfair and anyone who believes differently is not only a fool, but also part of the problem in this nation today. (read more here)
