Romney is a good representative example of all the faceless corporate executives that gladly sold out their own country with the help of the politicians they bought and paid for. We stopped having a country decades ago and now that fact is becoming readily apparent.

Most certainly, he is the poster child of exactly what you are talking about. It makes me sick just thinking about it. Ross Perot warned us about this and what would happen. “The Great Sucking Sound” and happen it did!

NAFTA had next to nothing to do with it.

Selling us out to the Chinese starting with Clinton and accelerated under Obama is what has destroyed our manufacturing base and left us incredibly vulnerable.

Hopefully this is enough of a wakeup call to get even democrats to get on board with at least bringing back all our critical manufacturing to the US and moving as much of the rest of it as possible out of China to our own Hemisphere.

The Western Hemisphere has most of the worlds agricultural and other natural resources and a work force of nearly a billion people.

Fuck China, bring it home.

An EU style economic compaq here in The Americas would create an alliance capable of crushing the rest of the world which is why the Soviets did everything they could to destabilize central and south America.

Even the Euro’s would be crapping their pants at the thought and doing so would raise the standard of living from the arctic to the ant arctic ocean creating a level of peace and prosperity like the word has never seen or even imagined.

Never handled them but I know they were among the best ever produced under gov’t contract.

You are dense as fuck man. I specifically said NAFTA was one example of the type of behavior that we have seen these corporations engage in time and time again.

Ross Perot was a great American Patriot!

Absolutely. he even personally funded some of us to go and recover POW’s.

LOL, so did I. :wink:

3M is aggressively pushing back on this news.

Do any of you ever stop and think that if capitalism is so great then why does it need to be bailed out by socialism every ten years or so?

They are not taking control of production but taking what they need of the product produced.

Actually the politicians allowed it with their free trade agreements. Consumers encouraged it by demanding cheap goods. It remains the same today, the consumer by purchasing made in China allows it to continue.

Conflate much? You don’t even know what the concept of socialism really means only your post modernist definition.

lol - yeah it’s not like the government is nationalizing the means of production or anything.

How so Post Modernist of you that you have to lift a quote from Fredrick Jamison to sound intelligent! Gotcha! Thanks you just proved my point!

I hope ALL the elected officials begin to understand the evil of American businesses setting up shop in CHINA . 3M factory in CHINA can NOT ship respirators to the USA because the CHINESE government forbids it . ALL 3M respirators produced in CHINA have to stay in CHINA by government order !!! Hopefully we learned a lesson that will NOT cost many American lives !!!
