You are correct ...We have seen this over and over. You are correct until you use the term "American Investors." These companies are owned by investors all over the world. While the company may still be a US Corporation, the actual ownership could be anywhere. The product may look the same, still have the US sounding name but there is that little line down in the corner saying "Made in China." That should be your clue.<br /><br />Foreign investors buy US companies when they are in distress. They don't want to deal with self serving unions or onerous government regulations. No, they buy US corporations to gain access to markets, patents and technology. But overall, they want to bring jobs to their own countries.<br />I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that we cannot have a whole nation on welfare and food stamps. I don't think Mr. Trump has the answers, but I sure wish someone did. <br /><br />Robert Gill<br />Phoenix, ArizonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-11208382080185588112016-03-24T14:29:21.949-05:002016-03-24T14:29:21.949-05:00Bravo!
