American De-industrialization

The de-industrialization of America is the equivalent to national suicide. With more and more industrial/manufacturing facilities shutting down and relocating to other countries, corporate America is subjugating the U.S. to the whim of whomever has more power. Be it communist China or the U.N. As the eco-terrorists and the EPA prevent building new refineries or developing off shore oil resources, we become more dependent on other countries for the natural resources we need. Communist China, remember them? They massacred their own people at Tianammin Square? They have occupied Tibet for over fifty years despite liberal bumper stickers? They have forced abortion and sterilization? That epitome of free speech and human rights? Any way, they have teamed up with communist Cuba to develop offshore oil resources between Cuba and Florida. Sweet, eh? And why aren't the eco-terrorists trying to stop them?
But I digress, why is 'our' government encouraging this suicide by increasing trade with China and increasing restrictions at home? If the government were responsible to the citizens and national interests, when an American corporation shuts down a manufacturing facility in the U.S. and opens one in any other country, the government should SEVERELY penalize said corporation. Obviously, both parties in our government are responsible to the international-american corporations. It is not that they are stupid, far from it. These corporate leaders, and government lackeys, fully understand that U.S. manufacturing supplied the U.S., U.K., U.S.S.R., and all other allies with the bulk of the war material needed to defeat the Axis powers. And they fully understand that nearly all technology in production nearly everywhere has its roots in the U.S. We are the great entrepreneurs, the great pioneers, the great inventors. So, why are these people so dead set on eliminating American manufacturing? To "even the playing field" to "redistribute the wealth" to nullify American independence and spirit.
Remember, only about 33% of the colonists strove to be free from England, about 33% were Tories, loyal to the crown, and the remaining colonists were like many Americans today, they didn't care. Now we are at a similar crossroads and what to do? How to stop the lowering of the U.S. to third world status? Honestly, I don't know, but a good step is always to communicate to your government representatives. Let them know you realize what is going on, let them know that if the U.S. and all our rights, freedoms, and responsibilities are not first with them, they can be voted out. If everyone who cares will take that step we may have a chance. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
As the old Chinese curse said: "May you live in interesting times." Times are very interesting, indeed.
