The Massive Giveaway To China Of The U.S. Manufacturing Base That Trump And Clinton Will Continue

                                       Two political candidates making promises neither did anything about during their lifetimes. One as a rich and powerful businessman, the other as a rich from politics politician handed everything on a silver platter. For over thirty years U.S. corporations and businesses have given to China and other nations the industrial and manufacturing capabilities of the United States. Seeking cheap labor no matter the consequence, these companies ensured their executives incredibly bloated salaries while making sure worker wages are kept deflated. Now China is an industrial giant, while the United States has become a low cost service economy with a diminished industrial base. In order to feed the insatiable appetite of wall street and others, no one bothered to ask why making computers, phones, shoes, clothes, bicycles, and thousands of other items were impossible in a country that prided itself on having a strong and vibrant middle class. Now the United States has a weakened middle class, relying instead on cheap labor from overseas, where there are few environmental and work condition standards. Maybe instead of removing ways for middle and working class people to earn a living, people should have asked why it was so important to deflate wages and massively inflate the wealth given to corporate and business elites along with Chinese elites.
                                    Meanwhile, corporations that have no loyalty to countries, find places where labor can best be exploited, and where pollution can be emitted with no outcry. (Pollution in one country eventually makes its way worldwide).
                                      Whoever becomes president never did anything about the aforementioned, and certainly will not start now.
