Robert Owen (J. Horgan)

Would taking overseas jobs benefit us by cheap labor sources and natural resources making it the best possible solution for our country? Of course not! I have see first hand how this method ultimately fails. A few years back, I believe it was 1826, when I had sailed over to America to start a Utopian Community in New Harmony, Indiana. Boy was I surprised when things weren't going as plan. I guess I should have known that's it is only human nature that the people want to be better than each other. The community failed due to a lack of individual sovereignty and private property. From this I learned that we have to stay on our turf and fend for our selves. Everyone is in it for their own countries; why would they want to help benefit us? Having been born in the United Kingdom, I know we have all of the best resources we need right here. We are strong and we do not need to resort to working in other countries to get by.
