Now don't get me wrong, we need Big Business.

Thats right, I am not against Big Business, bewildered, but I am against greed, exploitation, manipulation and all the other negatives attached to what is in my opinion the  reasons behind the desmantling of this nation. The term dismantling maybe confusing to some but take a look around at what is actually made here any longer and you will hopefully grasp why I used that term. It is literally what it is.

Now I think we all understand that we do need business to profit. That is what  get this, is supposed to generate jobs, good jobs, a future, technological advancement, a brighter future, here for us, and for the "Common Good" of all Americans. The question before us all, is it? Sadly by deed and example and yes opinion we have evidently lost that, given it away in search of plunder, greed, riches, spoils spectacular profits to what these giant corporations call the "Emerging Markets."

Lets look at the reality of the situation. In order for these "Emerging Markets" to buy these corporations goods they needed wealth. These nations have never ever been able to do that for centuries. They remain to this day in many cases backward and fuedal and for many reasons. Their cream came here to America to grow and prosper but no more. No, just the cheap low end workers and poor come. So, think about this, just what did many of our leaders and big business people do? Well quite obvious, they all couldn't come so they brought America to them. Hey, can it be, the heck with America, she has shot her wad?

So, that is a serious rhetorical question for all of us to ponder. They, our leaders consistently and always use the term Global in what they say and propose. All they do evidently for the Global dream. And now that America has shot her wad they can't find a way to "Stabilize" the decline. Well my theory and opinion  is that perhaps  it isn't meant to be saved? Rhetorically, could there be something else after the fall?

Hey, I know its hard to swallow but then again any prudent business person must be able to look ahead and forecast. Even average Joe's must have some capability to see somewhat ahead. So, the question, rhetorically, of course, do you see a potential crash and if so, what next?

As for Big Business, well we need to bring it home. Make the shoes, the shirts, the dresses, the cars, the toasters, the TV Sets, the lamps, the furniture, etc that was once made here. Rebuild our highways and biways and bridges. However, eliminate the greed. That is the hardest issue of all, mans selfishness and a major obsticle. Yet, the system worked mind you for eons since our nation was founded and only in the last 30 or so years was it altered. The proof before us all if one cares to look. To bring America back from the dead can be done. After all we have 300 million plus people that could buy again, that is if they could find a living wage job and that takes business investment and credit.

Yes bring that money that is offshore home and we will not have what we have today. Change the legislation that these leaders crerated to level the playing field for small business. Sure it will take time but time will pass a lot faster then if we allowed these leaders of either party to continue down the same road.

I place it before you for consideration. No right or wrong just thought. You grab it and think about it and then go out and make the right change.
