I understand where you are coming from, and agree with all above.

However, I think it is the correct term for what happened.

Back in the 80s, banksters were calling up american corporations and offering them sweet-heart loan deals if they would move their manufacturing outside the states. At that time it was to mexico.

While they were doing this, they were also doing their best to get factory workers into 30 year mortgages.

So, the banksters were trying to screw over the working class, coming and going.

"They stole our jobs"?
The banksters sold you out! (but was it theft?)

What america needs is a lot more capitalism. People to start building trucks in their own back yards.
