How You Are Being Manipulated By Foreign Forces

How does the race to the bottom really work? In two ways. You have the Big Business buyout of politicians and you have a manipulation of how the American economy is perceived. Big Business buyouts of politicians has already occurred and the lobbyist foothold in Washington is as strong as ever.

However, the winning over of perception has been a work in progress and this is how it works. Big Business with concerns for overseas commerce do not want Americans to view the value of the dollar as going down they want you to see other things as rising, its all about perception, and this is how the race to the bottom works. Think about it, have you been complaining to your friends the price of gas is going up or have you been saying the value of the dollar is going down?

Now you see how it works. They sneak it out from under you and then you are helpless to do anything once the ship for change has sailed. We never say its too expensive to buy a car in India or China we say its to cheap to work there so why won’t people say that about America now? Because foreign businesses do not want us to, psychologically its better for them to say prices are rising in America rather than saying the value of the dollar is lower.

They would rather keep new investment out of America and we need to get the word out, ‘Come to America, we are cheaper.’ It has worked in China and India so why not let it work here now? People keep saying that the economy and economic troubles will not end until we hit bottom but is this a figurative term or a real monetary position? Will Big Business turn you from a proud worker into a survivalist just happy to have a job? If they do its because you let them and once they have you down they will never let you back up again, believe it or not, it is the truth. You do not hear politicians running for office saying how they will fix things, you only hear them saying how it’s someone else’s fault, another aspect of the race to the bottom, the bait and switch.

Consider all of the politicians and Big Businesses who are allowing America to import products for areas that allow slave labor, child labor, poisoning, and pollution, and when asked these leaders of commerce and country resort to discussion about green policies. They try to make you feel guilty so that you shut up and go away but their only real green concern is for the green of the dollar, or Yen, or Euro.

They say be green in America and then they do business in pollution filled factories around the world, come on, how hypocritical is that? And why have you as an American not done more to address this issue. If you just sit there and let them take your livelihood from you then you will deserve what you get.

However, I for one will fight for the right to be a proud strong American. I sure hope you will join me.

Will You make a difference?
