yep, we're diluting our wealth by paying it to poor people in exchange for cheap goods. This makes them richer and us poorer. But there's way too many of them to bring them up to our standards. We can only bring ourselves down to theirs.

If there were no poor people, there would be no rich people. The have-nots serfs must exist for the ruling class to exist.

American wealth standards aren't sustainable in the global economy. Labor wouldn't be cheap enough and there isn't even close to enough energy production in the world. Those nuclear fusion reactors can't come soon enough. Energy and menial labor are the two things holding back the wealthy economies from genuinely eradicating poverty within their own borders. Beyond that, many countries have political situations (insular policy and corruption), cultural attitude(high crime, or frequent militias, banditry etc.), and demographic problems relating to their aging populations that effective economies can't exist.

By far the best and fastest way to stop being poor is to reduce corruption, start manufacturing and selling goods to the USA. China was once a third world country on par with Africa, and the investment and access to US markets has propelled their economy into the stratosphere like Japan in the 80's, and what was originally going to be India until their recent involvement with BRICS and Russia in the Ukraine war. India was about to become Japan/China mk. 3 but those plans have debatably been put on hold.

It's kind of a really interesting question which country is going to get the golden ticket right now after India threw it away. Mexico would be convenient but the crime is too intense. The USA is potentially looking to bring manufacturing back inside the states which is wild. It could be possible with the advent of robo labor maybe, but it's still way too early to bank on that being widespread.

Finance is covert monarchy. The game is to keep the wealth exclusively among themselves by means of power. Power is obedience and that is achieved by force, mostly criminal. The majority shall fight for fright of dangers real and imagined and dim their resources along. You're poor in numbers because the aim of keeping numbers is poverty. Otherwise they would govern themselves and be a source of fear as any free agent might. Unacceptable.

Kind of. It was a political choice in the 90s and the pros outweighed the cons according to the thinking at the time. Similar political choices in USA helped Europe and Japan become successful after WW2 and so everyone thought it would happen again. But it didn't.

One way to think about it is that Reagan tax cuts funded the savings of Japanese corporations. GWB and Trump tax cuts funded the Chinese state companies and so just the communist party. It might make more sense to pay taxes to your own government instead.
