The race to the bottom forces workers to compete for less so investors can profit more, dividing the world into those that are invested, and those that are not. The tax burden of investors is offset for them, by capital gains, which effectively places the entire tax burden of society onto those that are not invested.

Unfair global trade is just one of many tactics in a system of institutional slavery, where the investor class profits more by forcing the uninvested taxpayers to take less for their labor. This transfer of wealth from taxpayers to corporations divides the public economically and creates an insidious allegiance to the conflict-based economy.

Our global trade and investment policies have resulted in massive inequality and the destruction of the middle class, causing conflict, democratic decay, and social dysfunction.

The race to the bottom exposes the divisions of the public in a political spectrum measured in amounts of investment. The most important political spectrum is not democrats versus republicans or the varying beliefs they advocate, the true political spectrum is the invested class versus the uninvested taxpayer. Those two demographics are competing with each other economically and that is the distinction that matters to a representative government, because money is representation.

Invested democrats and republicans are on the same side, and together with other investors, they are exploiting the uninvested in what is called a race to the bottom.
