Flounder |
| The Steel
Industry in the United States was unable to match outside competition
and was floundering. The response was to penalize the consumers of the
outside steel in an attempt to force them to buy steel made by the
floundering companies. The reasons or excuses for the flounders are
numerous and varied. They had to purchase labor from a cartel that
threatened them with violence if they did not comply. They did not
modernize their plants to keep up with the competition. To even suggest
modernizing or upgrading any massive industrial concern, one has to pass
through the gauntlet of Environmental Regulators, those charging
Environmental Racism, and those who are against Free Enterprise in
general. The lesson to be learned here is simple, if your business is
floundering, get the government to punish those who did not choose to
trade with you, disguise the whole operation in the American Flag, and
call the penalties tariffs. Black leadership, the NAACP etc. wants to see floundering black owned business flourish. "We still believe that the white man's ice is colder..." said Mel Farr Sr., president of Mel Farr Automotive Group. "Black consumers should support black-owned businesses..." said Pamela Rodgers, president and chief executive officer of Rodgers Chevrolet. The solution is simple, follow the lead of the floundering steel industry. Have the government penalize the consumers of goods and services provided by non-black businesses, call it Tariffs, or even better yet, call it Reparations! |
