The American Investors (retirees, workers, and unions) have a larger share ownership of American Businesses and more say than the American Workers.
The American Investors (retirees, workers, and unions) demand their American Investor Mutual Funds (American Businesses) get the best returns.
The American Businesses have determined that moving jobs to cheaper labor markets in other countries is the best way to meet the returns demanded of them by the American Investor.
The Baby Boomers in the U.S. (Largest number of Americans by age group) are beginning to retire. Once they retire their whole source of income comes from investments in American Investor Mutual Funds. (There will be a larger percentage of Americans retired than working.)
Investing in Companies that make American Products using American Workers is the only way to change the current situation. (Doubtful)
When I last consulted with a financial advisor the main question was "How do I invest to get the most so that I can retire at the earliest age and continue to enjoy my lifestyle?). (Security. Meaning I want the most I can get for meeeee and screw everything else.)
Never once did anything come up about supporting American Worker lifestyles.
Democracy is supported by our freedom to invest for the best return.
(For an economy it's a natural cycle that works better than say socialism does!)
Along with the great returns in investment the older generation gets the right to say about the younger generation "I worked hard my whole life! Why don't the bums get a job?"
The economic cycle will revolve when the elderly retiree needs a worker to fix the car, mow the lawn, repair the house, change the bed pan or make a meal.
Service, naturally following the money,
is where the jobs will be. He who rules service will then rule.
Don't shoot the messenger!
