Do..enlighten me..or are you like so many here...throw some shit..and run. Usually, the next step is for you to save face by telling my how I'm not worth your oh so precious time..and slither out. surprise me.Now, HERE is a piece of incredibly faulty logic .... and he doesn't even realize what he's saying.Who makes sure that the poor cannot afford American-made goods? Oh yeah..the rich....who out-source American Jobs....and reap the profits. The poor have to buy crap..and that is all in the corporate plan.
Your post makes clear you don't know what the hell you are talking about so what would be the point in discussing it with you? You bitch about corporations outsourcing ignoring that its the middle class who has trillions of dollars invested in the same corporations.
What middle class? Sure..in the form of Retirement and Pension plans..true that. But the impetus to outsource has always been wages. The assets tied up in the Retirement and Pension funds are unavailable..in the short term..to the middle class..and a strong downturn..could make it so that they are never realized. Those plans are at risk and are in play.
Outsourcing screws the working class. Ultimately, I believe it screws the Middle class, what there is of it left, as well. There's room for debate there. Having such a large segment of our assets overseas..and subject to vagaries of fortune such as wars,natural disaster, nationalization--never made long-term sense to me. It is a gamble..and if the dice come-up snake eyes...it is the middle class..the pension funds..the retirement plans..that will bear the brunt.
But the one thing that is clear..is that it is not a partisan thing. It is a red herring to throw out taxes and fees..while they are an inconvenience..they are not what drives outsourcing.
Wages do..followed by reduced regulation.
Oh good lord, who owns the corporations? HELLO...geeze just never mind
Rich people..for the most part. Hedge funds, shareholders. But you know this. this is why I seldom let myself get involved in these little affairs...I'll throw out a cogent couple of hundred words..and you'll toss out a throwaway line..that doesn't address what i said at all.
If the gist of your cryptic sentence is Democrats, or Republicans for that matter.--nah..Money and power Trump politics. At the top..regardless of R or D--these people are all the same. hey go to the same schools..they speak the same language.
I'll also put out there..that while trillions are invested in Middle Class funds..the middle class..does not vote their shares..managers do..and they do not always have the best interests of their clients in mind. History shows that, eh?
Ownership and control..two very different things. the Middle Class may be said to 'Own' a large portion of corporate America..but they control..very little.
