You can call it what you will. I grew up in an era when almost everything was made and manufactured in the states. Now almost everything comes in from overseas, we're not a manufacturing nation anymore. We're a service economy. We don't make cars anymore, we assemble them. We buy our steel from overseas. Almost everything I see in my house is made someplace else, overseas. Sure, most still have American names, but are manufactured overseas. All we do is sell and distribute.

Now I'm one who thinks there is a happy medium. A level where businesses can afford to be taxed, regulated, etc. Above that level, businesses start looking to go elsewhere as they did in the past. Anything below that level, they stay, provide jobs, taxes, etc.

Perhaps New York with their incentive for business to return has just gotten tired of losing those companies and people elsewhere. Perhaps New York would be better suited to find a way to keep what they have. Reward those who have stayed instead of rewarding newcomers. Now that is up to New York, not me.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
