I'm just assuming your an American? I partially agree that our some people do abuse this attribution error.

That said, there's still a lot of folks, like myself who blame one sided dubious trade agreements(with job programs that didn't target the areas of the country hit hardest. The federal money was dolled out to all states? "We will let you pass NAFTA, but you must retain, or pass on money to social programs, or retrain workers?" We have over 400 retaining programs. There's no real oversize. And what are we retracing people to do? Coding--come on. Coding takes on a certain personality type, and intelligence.

I've never been ok with building products in the lowest wage/regulation countries.

I've never been ok with lobby groups dictating what government officials would do. Dictating bills that politicians don't read.

I'm not fond of countries that dump dump product on our shores, just to decimate industries. Ex. Steel.

I find it crazy that foreigners can pick up the phone and by my nextdoor neighbor's house, and leave it empty.

I don't like currency manipulation.

As to the foreigners taking our jobs. I don't know. I know chit jobs are truely chit jobs now. I remember guys in the 79-80's who got out of serving a correctional term. A lot would start up gardening service, including tree trimming/removal, and slowly get an an apartment, and then a house. Those days are over. I remember guys opening up independent automotive shops, those days are over. My point is there use to be jobs that felons could start up. I can't think of a sigle one, that hasen't been completely taking over by foreigners. There use to be so many chit jobs employers would make exceptions and hire a felon. Again those jobs are practically gone.

I do blame an immigration policy that lets people break the law. I don't care about foreign illegal workers. I care about the corporations/individuals who don't get prosecuted for hiring them.

I blame this free Fed money, that guys like me have no access to. I understood the no interest rate policy of the FED after 2008; I don't understand it now. Poor poeople put there savings in banks, and rely on healthy 5 percent interest rates. We put our money on cd's.

I'm not blaming conservatives, or liberals. If I was president, I would get rid of 50 percent of government regulation on day one. I would keep an eye on certain industries though, like the Pharmaceutical, and any industry that hurts the enviorment.

I sound like a Trump fan? No--I'm not. I don't trust the man. I belive the Health Care Act is too important in principle to just get rid of. I don't trust he will appoint the right judges. I just don't trust him.

So, yes I agree that people lash out at what's conveinient, or a seemly easy target--the Attribution error?

I do think that poor people, people with no support(family, or didn't network like a cheerleader, or otherwise.) have some legitimate gripes. I don't think these grips are just psychological projection.

(I look at our GDP and cringe. I look at our foreign exchange rate, and I believe it was -15 percent? That's, I believe the lowest it's been since WW2?)

I do wish I moved to France once I got out of college. I had a chance, and didn't go. I just like the way they think. I like what they seem to value.
