You really are missing the point.

Would the Ford Workers go to Mexico when their company opens up there? Or the Boeing workers go to China, same with Coca Cola, clothing, steel, ship building, etc. The parent company might be in the West, but the workers are in the cheapest possible country and taxes are funnelled into a tax haven.

Of course, the goods they make are produced in the Third World are sold in the First. All with the help of people like Clinton. She's part of the Government and it's her job to look after her voters, not the donors who pay her.

Trump might make America wake up, it's a slim hope but people take slim hopes when they are offered them. Even the others weren't offering to bring jobs back to America some like Hillary was in favour of sending more abroad.

The First World needs to stop sending the life blood of its economies to the Third World.
