[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2105352, member: 7539"] Good question... I think it all hinges on our ability to increase our overall competitiveness worldwide. The shame is that it seems to be getting worse... as we continue to help other countries join the civilized, industrial and tech world, we continue to level the playing field between us and them. We keep exporting our advantages and at the same time we keep increasing our corporate tax rates, lowering tariffs and generally doing all the wrong things. The other big factor is letting ourselves get raped by our own government in order to support a significant part of our population who live on government subsidies and don't contribute meaningfully to the tax base and the county's productivity.
