Power of the Few

Katie I agree with much of the article, with people wanting to globalize.  I would contribute much of that to the ease of travel and most of all the Internet.  But honestly I think one of the big obstacles of globalization of the US is the media.  Every time an American company moves jobs out of America, the media shows heavily how little Mikey and his dad Will can't get a job and have no where to turn.  In addition they say America wants the road to globalization but they don't know where the road is, or what car to drive, I bet the average American wouldn't know what globalizing is. Another huge if not the biggest obstacle is the hypocrisy of the American system of democracy.  Democracy is supposed to be the vote of the many is supposed to have the largest voice. And two elections ago the majority voted against the person who won the presidency, and the superdelegates are going to vote for Hilary who again is not wining the majority.  But in America the truth is the few appear to have the greatest power, and the few are who are holding American and for this discussion globalization back.  For example, Will and little Mikey caused taxes for companies trying to hire their labor on a cheaper market, the minority of Hispanics makes all signs and voting ballets in two languages, and make us ask the Mexican government if WE can put up on fence on OUR own damn boarder (the really pisses me off), it causes a war to take place for a family feud and a Vice Presidents oil company etc. etc. etc.  

So it appears that we constantly speak of the greater good, and the power of the many but in practic we are a country run and hindered by the few.
