Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
It’s starting. Voters-taxpayers-municipalities will be held hostage unless progressive tax is approved. The next in line will be that the lower class and lower middle class will be targeted in ads before Nov that if they vote for the tax they will receive “enticements” in school funding-benefits/etc while the rich will pay “More”. That segment is a large voting block probably very uninformed about the real truth. Everyone will eventually pay more in higher costs of goods and services if passed.
