I don't see how forming a new country to escape from oppression of speech and religion is destined to fail. We've allowed our government to grow too big, and put there hands into too many things. I understand it's a complex day and age, but there are simple things that could help turn our economy around that are being prohibited for inane reasons.Be it white, black, or brown this entire country is trashed. Don't forget we where founded by runaways and traders to the crown. I would say that's destined to fail.
We have more oil in the U.S. than the Saudi reserves, yet we aren't allowed to mine the shale or drill for "environmental" issues. If the oil industry in the U.S. blew up, it would create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Not only would it create jobs, but a huge percentage of all products made these days contain some form of petroleum product, so if oil prices in the U.S. plummet, so would the cost of most other goods in the U.S.
Also, why are domestic companies not given tax incentives to keep production facilities here, on U.S. soil? People are angry that companies have moved the majority of their production to China, but those companies are only operating as any company should; protecting its shareholders and making money. The fault in this situation lies with the U.S. government not protecting the economy. Why is it cheaper for companies to produce in China and pay the import taxes and not just keep manufacturing facilities in the U.S.?
