In large part a lot of it is due to Presidents, Senators, and Congressmen who vote for the things that the big contributors to their campaigns want not what's good for the country as a whole.

It has nothing to do with Politics it has everything to do with people bitching and not acting.  Hell even the modern protester comes out shows there face, buys a Hillary Obama sticker and goes home feeling like they accomplished something.  They won't run themselves, they wont found special interest groups, and they sure as hell wont work in a industry that supports there point of view.

Not to mention the millions of hypocrites that sit and drive cars around, wining about the possible global warming.  Well the planet it is warming, and as much as many of you claim to know the effects are man made no one looks at the history of the industrial revolution when pollution was 10 times as bad.  These are the same people that buy a environmentally friendly hybrid, drive it in city traffic, and pollute just as bad as most cars these days.

Personally I am sick the wining, and tired of the half ass excuse for "knowledge brought to the table."  People blinding hating a war that they claim knowledge in, but have done so little research on they can't even tell me what the first WMD used on US troops was.  They never can tell me the difference between a Private Contractor, a mercenary, a FOB but claim knowledge about a war they watch on TV and suck the bloggers trash up as if it was the gospel of Mark. 

Yeah both sides of the story are full of idiots and morons from people claiming Hillary is a lesbian, to people now claiming Saddam never ever(through out his history) had any WMD's.  Hell I always here about how Osama was trained by the CIA when the CIA had little to no contact with his organization, and were almost never in Afghanistan (bank rolling is a different story).

People are ignorant, and claim knowledge they just don't have.  The US isn't full of hypocrites its full of ignorant jackasses who see the world through a myopic fishbowl of a existence.

Meat, what we have now is not "capitalism."

What would your reason be for American manufacturing not competing in the world market? (I'm excluding American outsourced products which is inevitable in today's world market.)

Since capitalism is the ideology that persuades us to consume more and more and waste more and more finite resources
