If we can't produce products of the next revolution we can at least produce products that keep us as the revolution. Mainly guns, bombs, war planes, war ships.. etc. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, we're making things that make those obsolete. It's akin to selling people knives while we produce guns.

I have to agree with the other poster. The cars that are being made today are more reliable and last longer than cars made in the 1970's and 1980's.

I would suggest you check out the Forbes Global 400 for the richest people in the World.

The World's Billionaires - Forbes.com

The richest man in the world is a Mexican.

The fourth richest is from India and the fifth richest is an Indian that lives in the United Kingdom.

A Brazilian is the eight richest man in the world.

Overall only three of the top ten on the list were Americans. In the last ten years most of the new billionaires in the world have come from Asia, Latin America and Russia.

It's much easier to make money of oppressed/socialist than it is to make money off free willed people.

Opps... I wasn't suppose to say that.

I wonder how many failable parts today's cars have compared to 70's cars.

If you have not figured out by now, this is a full fledged holy war, your really not coming to the terms of reality.

The USA has always been a christian based nation, founded on christian beliefs. Only recently has the move to remove GOD from our Constitution, been so evident.

here's at least one example of this happening:

Irony or farce: Boeing ships US defense jobs to South Korea? - The DEW Line
