Success isn't vilified here. What's vilified is companies avoiding paying taxes.

Yes, companies have exported millions of US jobs to the Third World and no the wealth or jobs no longer trickle down. This process started in the 1960s with cheap clothes coming in from the Far East. Now Boeing has a factory in China, along with GM, Avon, GE, and AT&T. Plus many others. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/09/21/why-u...for-china.html

When you find fewer people can afford to have their roofs fixed it will hit your pocket.

Don't worry, you can rely on the Bankers to keep you rich.
