Rat poison. Eat now die later. Too many ate the 1969 Toyota, and we all, or most people not gov’t employed, real tax payers, all went thru a slow gradual economic decline. One wage earner in ’69, and by 1979 two wage earners were needed. Taxes kept rising to support a growing number of tax absorbers.
I was in manufacturing, and paying taxes, and got NEGATIVE support from the gov’t, who made agreements with big corporations and other foreign gov’ts to share my work with greedy needy foreign nations.
Importing is fine, if we export an equal or more amount of dollars or man hours. Look how we export “$100” worth of Boeing aircraft, and import “$10,000” worth of cars tools and toys with lead paint. This is why its all finally ending after ’08.
Back in the 60s and ’70s “income inequality” was a global concern. USA too rich and all other countries too poor. Now these days the income inequality and food stamps and welfare jobs are in the USA.
