Precisely.

I know someone (99FRC?) is going to reply with a tirade of: “VOTE! And you too can make a difference!” but seriously…it’s BS. Americans should have been complaining/getting up in arms about this shit 30 years ago, not now.

Too little, too late. IMO anyway. While I agree that we should tax huge companies that outsource, etc. and that it MAY help in the end, regardless, this country will never enjoy anything close to what it enjoyed when the Internet explosion happened in the 90’s (most of the reason why America was WAY in green during Clinton’s presidency).
