They rob you blind and you thank them for it. That's a tragedy. That's a scam. That's why I am saying this right now.
Americans you don't need a tariff, You need a revolution. For decades your government and oligarchs will ship your jobs to China. Not for diplomacy. Not for peace. But to exploit cheap labor and in the process they hollow out your middle class, crash your working class and told you to be proud while they sold your future for profit.
PEUReport noted the words of a major business reporter in July 2011:
I have seen so many people -- particularly those in their 50s - 70s -- taken apart by what has happened in their industry as greed has hollowed out the economy. These are people took pride in their jobs and held themselves to this invisible standard that we all just took for granted, but is being wiped out.
The Carlyle Group scares me more than anything I've ever seen on Wall Street. It seems to exist to corrupt politicians and it's hard to know who they even represent.
I watched a video interview of (David) Rubenstein and his arrogance is really beyond tolerance. He was going on about the debt ceiling problem and how there would need to be cuts in services and higher taxes. When the reporter asked him about tax on carried interest he turned really disdainful and said that this "only" amounted to $22 billion over some number of years and this was not serious money. Boy, nothing like everybody doing their small part to save the country from oblivion!Continuing the video:
And yes, China made money. But we used it to build roads, lift millions out of poverty, fund healthcare, raise living standard. We reinvest in our people. My family also benefit from it.
What did your oligarchs do? They bought yachts, private jets, mansions with golf course driveways. They manipulate market, dodge taxes and pour billions into endless wars.
And you, you get stagnate wages, crippling healthcare costs, cheap dopamine, debt and flag to wave, probably made in China while they pick your pocket.
For forty years both China and the United States both benefit from the trade, the manufacturing but only one of us use that wealth to build.
Politicians Red and Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and increasingly, more are one. The current Governor of Virginia sent jobs to China while at The Carlyle Group. His bosses and other PEU legends were labelled "policy making billionaires." They defeated repeated challenges to eliminate their preferred "carried interest" taxation as they hollowed out community after community, bought and sold company after company. All along, PEU affiliates got more business from Uncle Sam.
Now, TechGods have adopted the PEU playbook and they are not as refined in covering their nefarious methods with layers of secrecy or patriotic plastering.
The video concludes:
This isn't China's fault. This is yours. You let this happen. You let oligarchs feed you lies while they made you fat, poor and addicted. Now they blame China for mess they made. I don't think so.
I don't think you need another tariff. You need to wake up. You need to take your country back.
I think you need a revolution.
We do need to wake up and take our country back. We need to be clear with our elected representatives that the time for catering to the billionaire class is over. There should be no government subsidies for people-less factories, for jobless investments. Tax dodges for the super wealthy need to stop, both in law and in practice.
PEUs drove the deindustrialization of America and TechGods want to lead the next phase with AI and factory automation.
Trump II, the digital Caligula, implements the de-governmentalization of America, sending federal workers packing under a barrage of insults, carving out huge legal areas as "no longer enforced", turning standard measures like "GDP" and "deficits" into fantasy constructs and installing the largest group of "Yes" men, lickspittle rectums into critical roles to carry out the Donarch's wishes "to the D", to the detriment of our country.
The deindustrialization, degovernmentalization revolution is well underway and the target is well, you, me, we, us. PEUs, TechGods and "Trumple Sam" have united to further hollow out our communities and our country.
