Imagine you own a company that just introduced a newly designed widget that sells for $150 million dollars each. This improved widget is designed and manufactured in America. Even better your company has already booked 835 confirmed orders for your new widget. Not surprisingly, your primary production facility does not have the capacity to produce enough of the new widgets while maintaining production of prior generation widgets, which are a cash cow for your company. So naturally you built a new production facility to handle the overflow of new orders. Even better, you built the new facility in the United States, rather than going overseas.
Imagine you own a company and five unelected appointees of a government board, among them two unconfirmed appointees, stipulate where you where must open your new manufacturing plant. What if one of those unconfirmed board members is a recess appointee and was also the Associate General Counsel to both the SEIU and the AFL & CIO? Would you ever consider opening another manufacturing facility in the United States? Is this the tyranny about which Thomas Jefferson warned us?
Karl Marx wrote in 1865, "Between capitalist and communist society there lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat."
We are there, are we not?
