Forum Post: Moral Bankruptcy

What are we really upset about? The common thread is that we all feel sold out. We were. Neither party represents us as Americans, instead choosing to divide and conquer us all to garnish enough votes to control the masses. It's a tool called pandering. Who sold us out? Both Wall St. and Washington. One helps the other.. example...

China enjoys favored trade status with the US, thanks to both Dems and Repubs, while the Chinese manipulate currency values to keep their goods cheap.. uses slave prison labor... engage in unparalleled industrial espionage to steal intellectual property.. don't honor patents or trademarks.. in turn flooding our markets with cheap goods that we could never make here profitably. All while our politicians stand by and let it happen and while Wall St. ships the jobs overseas.. lowers their costs and they pocket the difference... and anyone who thinks the savings gets passed on to the consumer is gravely mistaken. China has this country by the throat, with Wall St. and Washington as their collaborators.

Why do they let this happen? Because there are too many profits at stake for Wall St.... and our politicians have sold too much of our debt to China to keep the gravy train rolling..
