From the late 1970's through 2010 Corporate America has been steadily reducing the United States ability to remain a sovereign nation, has rendered the United States Military {once the greatest deterrent to armed aggression form any where } to equal stature with the Chinese and Russian militaries, and reduced the American Citizen to the equivalent of third world conditions today all across the country. All of this has occurred as a direct result of United States policies. The government of the United States in its passage of laws and issuance of certain policies from 1974 to the present have made it more lucrative for major corporations to shift focus on employment options here and expand operations in other countries because of the lower operating costs.
