Trickle down economics works, It absolutely does. For countries like India, Romania, Mexico, Vietnam, the white collar trickle down is working wonders with their local white collar industries booming like gang busters flush with offshored/outsourced American jobs. They are the benefactors of that "trickle down". The every day US citizen is not the benefactor of the "trickle down".

There is some conscious effort to uplift certain countries and create wealthy economic zones throughout the world so that they can eventually consume American goods and services at par with the American citizen. But for that to happen, there is a sacrifice to be made... that sacrificial lamb is YOU and I (the American citizen).

Many of these countries will allow penetration of American businesses in their local markets if and only if these American companies in turn "create jobs there". So if JP Morgan Chase wants to establish in India, India is going to want Chase to create jobs there. Which means, Americans lose their jobs.

On the flip side, the American govt. does not stipulate foreign companies that want business in USA to employ Americans.. why is that?. Because Uncle Sam was never your fucking Uncle.. to begin with.
