Speak for yourself. I have not sacrificed " some ethics and feeling, make some moral compromises we have to live with. "

I have had bosses who took bribes, but that doesn't mean I did. I have not sacrificed ethics..
I spent 17 years working as a American productivity/industrial/process engineer/consultant dealing daily with product, systems and processes.

We can make it here, despite dirt cheap labor, unfair competition and local content issues.

What I have found is that most entrepreneurs lack the smarts/savvy or the guts or the planning/recruiting skills to do what must be done to succeed.

And you must be innovative to succeed as well.
