Some Things America Wants – This 2012 Independence Day

Published again today by this blogger -- an excerpt from his May 22 2012 blog post.

A few suggestions and observations:

*Americans face fewer job options of the traditional nature in the middle class than at any time since before World War II

* Americans are conscious of increasing their middle class lifestyle by an increased dependence on the Federal and State Treasuries

*Americans are concerned that the most brittle tax-base, their primary home real estate taxes, will not support the material politically cheap and costly diversion of essential and basic government services to the State treasuries

*Americans believe that Government is public safety, national defense, highways ports and airports in mixed private and government ownership for commerce, and good cheap public schools.

*Americans endorse and want cheap higher public education through existing state facilities without massive debt accumulation incurred by their student children.

*Americans prefer no National Health Service, but a taxpayer expense & credit ledger  approach to their health insurance and group health care purchase

*Americans will buy an American made car if cheap, fuel economic and practical enough (ie 120% of the minimum wage  as a constant target price for a budget automotive vehicle).  They will buy as many as they want and can, as too, imported vehicles.

*Americans like religion mixed with politics about as much as the police like mobs and Molotov cocktails at demonstrations

*Americans do not like cheap issue demagogic politics, nor a deterioration of the Presidential Race to an appearance of two desperate men, desperately wanting the office.

*Americans do not like but understand job lay-offs; and few want to subsidize the factory with loans from their money or by stock subscription.

*Americans like factory owners, sympathize with them, and do not engage in class warfare, except when necessary to close a costly unprofitable  factory or business.

*Americans like NAFTA because they see a business return in a common market.

*Americans know the bottom line and do not want nor expect FIAT employment, nor FIAT prices

*Americans buy American when they can and want to, and Americans prefer to buy from democracies.

*Americans do not like the Chinese economic and political dictatorship in Red China, particularly when Red China’s ersatz “President” promises to sit on China’s labor costs as a workshop of cheap labor for the world.

*America would like to see di-vestment from China’s economic dictatorship to reduce the trade.

*America would like all foreign military assistance engagement to flow as limitedly as that to Libya.  (They will continue the NATO UN USA role in Afghanistan in a trail down to that nation’s self security).

*Americans will note the difference in electoral style, and if the Presidential Race gets wore, they will punish the Presidency winner, and themselves with a bad Congress in the same 2012 election.
