I guess everyone has a different idea of what's good. I find most people consider something good if it works out for them, and no more thought is given to the issue.
As for Americans, I think they have to question what their taxes are doing for them? They grow up receiving a sub-standard public education, they take on an enormous amount of debt to get higher education, and when they reach adulthood, the job market unceremoniously has nothing to offer them because its all being given away to non-americans.
What's the point of a nation anyway? What's a government's job? Maybe nationhood is an outdated idea and we should all bow to corporate overlords instead.
I think at this point Americans need to be questioning the partnership between the major capital interests and the major political parties. We all know we’re getting screwed, but the parties are adept at keeping us blaming each other and playing tug of war while they get away with whatever their sponsors want, more or less. It’s not a problem that’s going to get solved by a Democrat or Republican supermajority in Congress, control over the Supreme Court, or control of all branches of government.
The way I see it, American tech companies are siphoning considerable amounts of money from other countries thanks to a tech monopoly. For instance, I see my taxes being used to pay MS Office licenses/subscriptions, and I strongly suspect that if anybody ever manages to displace MS as king of the word processing hill, it will be a US company, or a non-US company bought by a US company.
So, yeah, my non-US taxes being used to pay for US jobs? I can live with that. But I can also live with them being used to pay for jobs in my country.
