J.D. Vance: Offshoring All of Our Industrial Jobs Created a Generation of Kids Attracted to Socialism

EXCERPT:

VANCE: “Does the socialism thing scare me? Yes. Is it the wrong solution? Yes. But one thing I try to persuade my fellow Republicans of is socialism is the alternative if we don’t have a pathway to give people a sense that the system is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable. That’s, like, our job. That’s what we have to do. I’m not saying Rome was built in a day, it’s not going to be easy to undo some of these economic trends, but man, we ran the experiment. We ran the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, of becoming a services and finance economy, and allowing Wall Street to come in and buy every asset of modern life and turn it into an investible, you know, line-goes-up asset. And what has that done? It’s created a generation of kids who kind of are attracted to socialism. We have to fix that problem.”
