And... if the main tenant of capitalism is profit, know that money will be invested in companies globally that will return the largest share holder/investor return without regard either intentionally or not, as to the effect it may have on the overall social/ economic wellfare of any country including this one. I'm not sure how you sustain the national security in the future especially as other countrys develop nuclear programs, and China moves ahead technologically. As they build their economy, and project their influence globally, it will be much harder to challenge their influence.
I believe in capitalism, but I wonder if there is no regard to the effect it may have when profits generated on a global scale, that really has no national allegence, will not be counter productive to we as a nation, and imperil our future national security. Will you send your children off to war to defend this country when the security issue is corporate, not national?
On dealer closings, All the agriculture co's been doing this for some time. John Deere told probably a third of it's dealers to consolidate last year. No choice. So now you may be 60 or more miles from your closest dealer.
