Keeping the American Dream alive...
In the old days there were guys like Benjamin Franklin and James Madison who had big dreams for America, and others came along and shared the dream of America. Guys like the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts, they all shared the American dream, and they built America. And they were good Christians who gave back to their communities, and as the men made money their wives gave the money away through charitable organizations, etc, and they donated libraries, etc, and they pumped money into America. Guys like Bill Gates are not like the old guys like Henry Ford. Henry Ford created jobs in Detroit, and Gates creates jobs in China, Gates only cares about the money. Otherwise the Apple I-Phones would be built in Nebraska instead of in China.
So what do we do? The tariffs on imports from China is a good start, and then we can invest that money back into the USA, we can build high speed trains, and other public projects, and we can also give redevelopment money to areas hard hit by job losses, and we can give people low interest business loans, etc. And as our young people become educated, we need to make sure that they can find jobs right here in the USA. And for instance, California has great film schools, and great acting schools, we need to have jobs for the students when they graduate, so we need a new movie studio in Anaheim, etc, we need new film and television investment in Southern California, and film equipment rentals, etc. California has lost over 500,000 jobs to China, and we need to get busy replacing those jobs and we need to keep the American dream alive. And guys like Gates have done a lot of good things, but they need to do more to create jobs here in the USA, and to give back to America.
Salute,
