out that the foundation of your 'thought' is flawed.
The consortium of American based, trans-national, corporations proposed the abandonment of the US in the 60s. In that time of social unrest, the nation was changed for the worse (from their perspective). Large groups of people (the assets that enabled them to rise) were taking back their power and forcing the trans-nationals to accommodate their needs and grant a larger share of the proceeds than the corporations were willing to give.
You've heard the meme "only Nixon could go to China", but have you asked why Nixon went there in the first place? Did you ever wonder why IBM was one of the first trans-nationals to go to China and build the plants and design the instruction programs to create the work force to run them, when there was no profit in it? Did you ever wonder why a "Communist" nation like China allowed the establishment of a central bank connected to the "evil" capitalist nations to happen in the first place? Did you ask why your "representatives" sacrificed your livelihood and forced you to pay the bill for these companies to dismantle your factories and plants and ship them across the pacific to be installed in a nation that was/is our enemy, and lacked the personnel to run them?
Who benefited from this looting of our infrastructure? Did politicians find it easier to win re-election when their constituents were unemployed and desperate? Did you even notice that, while your federal taxes were raised, less and less of that money came back into the community while a greater share of the burdens of society were laid off on them?
Just like "Deep Throat" told Woodward and Bernstein, follow the money. Who has profited and who has paid over the last 40 years? Cost of labor is irrelevant today, we have far more people on the planet than are necessary to produce the goods required to maintain those lives, yet we cling to the belief that there is lack and that is why there is still so much suffering. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes. Nearly everything we're told and most of what we "know", are lies that serve to keep us from realizing that we do not need them at all, while they are utterly dependent on us.
