President Bush's Unfair Advantage
Nobody’s Opinion: In an early morning press conference to discuss our country’s economical state, President Bush kept repeating his same old tired message; (evidently imprinted on the back of his eyelids) that the U.S. must not become protectionists, we must not become isolationists, we must have free trade or else.
Spoken like a true Harvard man. Remember, President Bush has an MBA degree from the HBS (Harvard Business School) which positions itself as the leading trainer of the world’s leaders.
Every time Bush comes out and says that America will benefit with free trade, I just have to laugh…just exactly what Americans is he talking about?
Half our population works for the government. Our schoolteachers, firefighters, policemen, and all those others that work for hundreds of huge monolithic government departments and many whose sole job is to not find solutions to anything, because they would put themselves out of a job if they did…have nothing to trade.
Then there are the few small business owners that compete with the huge franchises…the Home Depots, Wal-Marts, grocery conglomerates, etc. The postage alone would bankrupt them.
And just how many “service” workers are going to do business with Columbia? Is Starbucks going to send down some coffee beans?
President Bush’s Harvard degree actually gives him has an unfair advantage over most American people, because Harvard has been training its leaders to memorize a most important concept called “The Power of Unfair Advantage.”
In the introduction of the book “The Power of Unfair Advantage” by John L. Nesheim, Arnold Schwarzenegger says: “You have to create a need for yourself, build yourself up. While their empire goes on, slowly, without realizing it, build your own little fortress. And all of the sudden it’s too late for them to do anything about it.”
Got ya!
President Bush is basing our foreign policy on this simple business concept. Next time you see a CEO or a politician talk about free trade, watch their eyes…they just light up like a hot night in Vegas. They sweat on just the thought of China’s 1.3 billion potential consumers--- with a growing middle class who are now going to buy from General Electric, Ford Motors, and Hanna Montana. Sweet visions of their stock options portfolio is almost more than a Ralph Lauren suit can bear.
Of course, to get at this market, our politicians had to sell out American workers, but it’s a sacrifice they were willing to take, and take---and take again.
The vast new endless global markets in their eyes, give them that “unfair advantage” of setting up “fortresses” of manufacturing companies and then, accordingly, all these communistic countries will become democratic countries, and we’ll be safe from attack.
.
At least that’s the plan. So—is it working in China?
Without a shot being fired, we now depend on China for everything. Instead of China becoming more democratic, America is becoming more…communistic.
Who has the unfair advantage now?
And while these multinational companies are making trillions in other countries, America goes broke.
Not one of them seems to care at all.
But when the business concept of ‘unfair advantage’ is applied by a government onto its own people, it's not fair at all...it's called totalitarianism. No matter how many bloggers, writers, protesters, and television media talk show hosts complain, it will never make much difference, because our government has patiently set up their vast “fortresses” to the unfair advantage that they now hold. Most of us answer to one electric company, one water company, one energy policy, one commerce department, one school system, and a media controlled by just a handful of the very powerful.
And when a government has set up a firewall of unbreakable unfair advantages, you can have all the free speech you want…it means abso-bloody-lutely nothin’.
At least that’s this nobody’s opinion.
The book also says; “Wise leaders know that in order to continue to win, the leaders must attack themselves, one of the principles of the defender strategy.”
Heck, why don’t they just make Reverend Wright President and save the world faster then? It seems this lesson has become everyone’s favorite.
No, the power of unfair advantage is not just the profile of a Dolly Parton, or the updated policies of eminent domain, or the unfairness of affirmative action…it’s a handful of Harvard business school graduates thinking they are creating a New World Order with their clever business practices, and maybe they are…but to whose advantage?
