I didn't watch the inauguration. I had to work. I only read some excerpts from the speech but one phrase jumped out at me: "We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs."
What does he mean by "our companies." Those companies don't belong to us. They belong to those who put their money at risk and worked to produce goods and services that the public would be willing to pay for. If Trump wants to prevent companies from pulling up stakes and decamping to other countries he should make this one more attractive for doing business. That means less government, less taxation, less regulation, not more.
Our companies? How is that any different from "you didn't build that?"
