No one is out to punish anybody, but when the largest generators of wealth insist on more and more, at the expense of this country's economy and infrastructure, it is time to stop it. It is not a coincidence that since off-shoring, or stealing American jobs, began in the 80's, wages have stagnated in the US. Were the rich not rich enough in the 70's? Were they not buying enough yachts, cars and vacation homes?
Once the dry drunk Reagan began his campaign to hand over the country to his corporate contributors, the war was on - punish the middle class by destroying their purchasing power, and make up the difference by opening up overseas markets. It is a sickness Mike, and one that needs to be stopped. Now. Last, it is pretty flipping ironic that the CEOs live safe, well protected lives here in the US, ensuring that the products they use and the job sites they occasionally visit are safe too. If they love off-shoring so much, why don't they go live in India, Indonesia or Mexico?? The message is clear; exploit the workers through low wages and dangerous working conditions, while continuing to fly over their hovels in a fancy corporate jet, being served caviar by a personal attendant. Demonic is the only word coming to mind. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : And if that's not enough, Mexicans, as well as central Americans, cross our borders illegally, falsify documents and take jobs in our own country by under bidding our citizens. Then they apply for public assistance to supplement their low wages. But that's only part of the story. Why is Carrier moving to Mexico? It's cheaper and less complicated to do business there. Between unions constantly demanding higher wages and more benefits, government regulations and higher taxes, in order to be competitive, make a reasonable profit, and risk fewer work interruptions, it may be necessary. Unfortunately, Bernie and Hillary's solutions will be higher taxes and more regulation which will mean more jobs moving over seas,fewer jobs here with more anger and resentment . You don't get ahead by getting even and that is how Democrats will approach this situation. They will want to punish the businesses moving over seas. From: "steve.sundur@...
