Very good on that. The only part I can comment on is your “a sense of entitlement to someone else’s earned wealth”.
I take that one step bigger, the sense of one country’s entitlement to USA’s earned wealth. Because of that foreign greed, and American stupidity to buy imports, we now have more poor people locally with their hands out. INCLUDING corporations. Corporate welfare.
If they laid off all the unneeded gov’t employees and gov’t vendor jobs, put them all on welfare, we’d save money. All the towns counties around me are having trouble raising taxes and paying pensions and free healthcare insurance for retired people.
If this trend continues, they will have to lay off ALL gov’t employees, and use tax money just for the retired ones.
