Read the excerpt and then answer the following question. Coffee from Brazil. Cars from Japan. Wine from France. Certain goods from around the world have become known for their quality. While we want to continually support the American economy, sometimes what we want is manufactured elsewhere. But that is not a bad thing. The notion that in order to support our country's economy, we must only produce and buy within it is far from the truth. Take Brazilian coffee, for example. Many people may say coffee beans from Brazil are much more flavorful, and their harvesting practices produce the best product. While the United States dominates in many other industries, coffee production is not one of them. So we buy from Brazil. In this way, we invigorate the Brazilian coffee market and allow it to expand. Outsourcing is similar. When American companies outsource jobs to India, China, Vietnam and other countries, it invigorates the market for American products in those countries. In countries not as wealthy as America, things like video games, mobile games and other products are not yet in demand. But when outsourced jobs become available in those industries, the awareness and desire for such products spreads. Hundreds of millions of potential customers are now in the business of working in and purchasing products within that market. Instead of just being a product in an American market, outsourcing allows it to become part of the global market. With America at the forefront of creative innovation, creating new jobs and outsourcing them around the world will only continue to invigorate the American economy.

The U.S. economy is strong right now. why?

In my opinion, I believe that the United States is not an economically just society. The economic structure lacks balance and an even distribution. The United States economy benefits from our struggles. Healthcare is outrageously expensive, and student loans are almost impossible to pay back. There are opportunities nowadays for the wealthy to remain so, and those in poverty struggle to make their way up. Taxes can be legally written off through business entities, making LLC owners prosperous in regard to finances. When you receive your next paycheck, look at the total amount of tax taken from your earnings. It is a ridiculous number, for what we are paying in taxes. Our tax dollars go straight to the government for "roads" and "education". In reality, we have billions of dollars being sent across the world, and our money is practically thrown away. Our economy is currently extremely unjust, and we have to pay to stay alive in the sense of healthcare and highly taxed food. In order to…
