Trump will be at the big bank's beck and call. He is part of Wall Street. Deregulating markets and lowering taxes on the top 1% (Trump's economic policies) you think are for your benefit? LOL. Not unless you're pulling 500k a year pal. 


More democrat talking points that simply are not true, friend. Obama's policies have led to more and more companies leaving the country and outsourcing in order to remain profitable. The regulations imposed hurt businesses and thus hurt Americans. That's another part of why so many people are out of work, because the jobs are fleeing. Besides that, so many companies are just going out of business completely! That's why trump is talking about lowering taxes and giving incentives to the people leading these companies. It's not about making the rich richer, dude. It's about creating jobs in America and Trump understands clearly how to do that.

The reason products are made overseas is because people in China and Taiwan and India are willing to work slave labor wages for 12-14 hours a day with no vacation pay, no weekends off, no medical, no dental, so you can have your cheap TVs and cheap electronic crap. 

That's the truth no politican (not even Trump) will tell you. There's no fucking "trade agreeement" that's going to change that. 

You willing to work for $2 an hour to make a cell phone? Didn't think so. 

And no, hate to break this to you, Donald Trump is not going to change any of that. 

And eventually even India and China won't be able to compete with automation, can't beat a robot/machine that will work 24 hours a day and doesn't require any down time, or break, or sleeping time, or time spent on a toilet, or around a water cooler talking about what they did over the weekend. 

There's nothing that needs to be made in America that can't be made elsewhere for cheaper, simply because people are willing to work for almost nothing (by US standards). Foxconn employees make like $400 a month, and this is *after* several wage increases after Apple and other companies took PR heat, and those employees work 15 hour shifts, none of that 9 to 5 shit. That's basically wake up, go to work, go home, sleep, wake up, work, sleep. And Foxconn is a *good* job for the average Chinese Joe, people line up to apply to work there.
