I think of American with a massive number of unemployed people, because our government, sadly both sides of the aisle, seemed to willingly send them away. It's true that Democrats now have a slight conscience, as much as they can get away with without the corporate right and left crushing them, about it. They have at least tried to close the tax break down for moving away manufacturing companies.

Every time you hear of a town in crisis, just think about the 30 million good, manufacturing jobs we moved to the third world, voluntarily. Think about all the federal, state, sales, and gas taxes, as well as the property taxes, the tolls, the utility, cigarette, and alcohol taxes we no longer can collect from them.

Now we got a few extra sales clerk jobs, that get paid near, or minimum wage. In effect, our economic policies are very, very responsible for not collecting another trillion a year, from jobs we CHOSE to lose.
