Anda salah, pandangan yang sangat stupid, anda tidak mengenal dan tidak mengetahui perkembangan dunia terutama Amerika. Kesalahan yang paling fatas adalah anda menganggap Amerika bersaing dalam produk konsumsi dengan Cina, Jepang, Korsel, dll. Itu tidak pernah terjadi. Justru, pindahnya pabrik2 di Amerika ke negara2 tsb bukan disebabkan apa yang anda pahami sekarang, yaitu karena mahalnya tenaga kerja di Amerika. Betul, tenaga kerja Amerika memang lebih mahal, namun pindahnya perusahaan2 Amerika ke-negara2 tsb bukan itu alasannya, melainkan memang sudah direncanakan bahwa semua pabrikan yang memproduksi barang2 konsumsi DILARANG untuk berdiri di Amerika. Pemerintah Amerika sudah memutuskan, tanah Amerika hanya diperuntukkan produk2 hightech terutama bidang angkasa luar dan yang disebutnya green manufacture. Pemerintah Amerika mengundang semua investor diseluruh dunia untuk menanamkan dan mengembangkan science, information system, dan teknologi tinggi di Amerika dengan insentif zero tax ditambah pinjaman bunga rendah bahkan tanpa bunga. Sebaliknya, semua produksi barang2 konsumsi akan dikenakan pajak sangat tinggi di Amerika ini, sehingga satu2nya pilihan mereka harus outsourcing ke-negara2 berkembang yang lebih murah. Jadi Amerika tidak akan pernah masuk dalam persaingan barang2 konsumsi, tapi hanya menjadi pusat semua teknologi tinggi didunia ini. Dengan peraturan tsb, Amerika mengundang masuk semua ahli2 dan penemu2 berbakat dari seluruh dunia, sementara mendorong pekerja2 pengangguran yang sebelumnya bergerak atau bekerja di-barang2 konsumsi untuk keluar negeri membuka bisnis konsultasi. Jadi produk2 Cina yang anda lihat makin maju makin berkembang itu adalah hasil dari konsultant2 Amerika yang pindah kesana, termasuk India, Jepang dll. Sementara itu pula, pemerintah Amerika mengundang semua pelajar2 berbakat dari seluruh dunia untuk sekolah di Amerika dimana mereka yang betul2 berprestasi bisa langsung bekerja di Amerika. Mereka dijamin dengan beasiswa, uang saku, dan segala kebutuhannya dijamin semasa kuliahnya. Tindakan pemerintah Amerika justru menyebabkan braindrain yang akan menjadikan negara2 berkembang malah makin tergantung bukan sebaliknya menjadikan Amerika tergantung kepada negara2 yang anda sebutkan tadi.
