37. The crux of this argument is this.
"Right-wingers and libertarians will argue that it’s a corporation's right to move wherever production is cheapest and I won’t argue with that one iota. The American market place, however, belongs to the American people and selling in that market is a taxable event. It is the government’s sovereign obligation to protect the economy of the United States on political, economic and moral grounds."


The American market is STILL that largest in the world by a long margin. If we don't use that advantage to our advantage then we will lose it. We are either for the people or we are for the billionaires and I wouldn't piss on a rich man if he was on fire. Throw on a gallon of gas - yes. And don't get me started on what I think insurance executive deserve.
