I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICANS HATE CHINA SO MUCH. I HAVE BEEN TO CHINA AND RAY DOES NOT HAVE A BLIND SPOT FOR CHINA. HE IS RIGHT ON. THE US HAS LOST ITS MIDDLE CLASS, ITS TAX BASE. CHINA HAS RAISED 800 MILLION PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. THUS INCREASING THEIR TAX BASE. THE US SPENDS ITS MONEY ON WARS WEAPONS. A TRILLION A YEAR ON THE SECURITY STATE. WE HAVE DESTROYED OUR TAX BASE WITH OUR NEO LIBERAL ECONOMIC POLICIES THAT HAVE DESIMATED THE MIDDLE CLASS. WE REFUSE TO INVEST IN EDUCATION, INFRASTRUCTURE, HEALTH CARE, HOUSING FOR OUR PEOPLE. A NATION THAT DOES NOT INVESTS IN ITS HUMAN CAPITAL IS EITHER TOO ARROGANT TO ACCEPTS ITS FAULTS OR TOO STUPID TO RECOGNIZE ITS MISTAKES.. WE ARE TOO ARROGANT TO ADMIT TO OUR DECLINE AND START FIXING OUR OUR PROBLEMS. ANY FORM OF INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON GOOD IS CALLED SOCIALISM IN THIS COUNTRY. WE ARE DRIVEN BY IDEOLOGY. ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DOGMA. ITS HOLDING US HOSTAGE SO WE CAN NOT PROGRESS. STOP BLAMING CHINA. WE ARE AND HAVE DONE IT TO OUR SELVES.
