The colonies once they were freed then instituted their own national manufacture plan (Alexanders Hamiltons plan that I linked to) that built up our manufacturing base by imposing tariffs and by giving incentives to manufacture here in the US rather than importing. The crown at the time was interwoven in corporations the British East Indy company was a company controlled by the crown. Just like most all the industries in China are controlled by the military in one fashion or another.

    We need to start putting America first. That means putting the interest of the whole nation above the corporations that offshore our jobs. They have no allegiance to US and are sure as shinola slitting our nations throat for their own personal profit.

    Why do you think the US has such an immense weapons manufacturing base? TARIFFS (laws that prevent the importation of foreign made weapons are the same damn thing) that exist today prevent them from shifting manufacture to China!!!!!!!
