America?

No.

The shareholder class underestimates it.

A lot of Americans realize that it's going to be hard, which is why we should have made an example out of the first guy to profit off of sending manufacturing off to the shores of a geopolitical rival.

Question: if the jobs were off shored, but the resulting profits were shared more equally, would Americans still complain?

I wouldn't expect "now that you've caught us we'll pay you to shut up" to go over well.

"Caught us" implies that the capitalists, the people who own the manufacturing plants, did something immoral, or illegal or under handed, but in the economic system that everyone championed in America, especially at that time, this was simply allowed. Seems like the fundamental anger is about the injustice of the economic system that leads to such consequences.
