Redistributing the wealth.....

Oh my God this could be the most UN-AMERICAN thing i have ever heard and you have finally shown your true colors.  You truly believe that people in this country should work at low wages so that business owners and shareholders can make all the money. 

You my friend should be ashamed of yourself for these remarks, saying companies should go overseas because American workers earn to much.   You are a true unio buster and middle class hater, even thou its the middle class who built this country, so that guys like you could have a place to live and prosper from.

Iam so disturbed by your post, i really dont even have any more words to say.

If the rest of you feel the same way about American workers, then shame on all of you.  Iam sure if you business owners didnt own businesses you wouldnt feel this way.

jobs are being moved overseas because companies want all the profits for themselves.  You know what i would say to all these companies, go and frig yourself  Sell your damn products overseas where they are made.   This is the problem our govt isnt taxing these products enough when companies bring them back over here to sell.  I would tax the crap out of these companies and make it not worth it for them to use overseas workers to make their products.  You my friend are a true American worker buster.

Oh goody the only jobs that will be left in this country is service jobs that pay crappy wages, that is a republicans wet dream

Its sad to see what you really think about this country and its workers.

Very well stated.

Jobs in this country that used to pay 6 bucks an hour 10 years ago, can't get done for less than 12 bucks an hour today. Who's fault is that? Answer that question and solve the problem.

China, India, and other foreign countries have us by the nuts, now.

The super-rich have a stake in these emerging producers of goods.

They financed their stake with the sweat and labor of generations of working class Americans.  They got super fat and corrupt under the Free Trade Acts adopted by the US.  The deregulation of Wall Street and the financial markets allowed all the foxes to raid the hen houses.  It appears that is what has lead us to this Depression we are sinking fast into.  The party is over.  People are losing their jobs everyday.  Fortunately, after Americans are out of work for 6 months, they won't be counted any further.  The statistics skew the depth of unemployment.  It's easier to spin rosy scenarios if you can "fix the numbers".  Thanks President Reagan.  

America has been sold out by Big Business and the Wall Street weasels.  And what happens now?  America bails out Big Business and the Wall Street weasels with what's left of the US taxpayers money.  

exactly  some of the guys on this site just dont understand this.  Maybe they are to young to get it.  Our country is slowly being destroyed by letting companies move their operations overseas and have all their products made over there.

They arent doing it in order to make money to survive in business, they are doing it to make bigger profits and they just dont care that this is ruining our country.  Its all about their greed and thrist for every friggin dime.

Were the greatest country in the world, maybe its time for our country to just make all our own shit here and let the rest of the world do the same within their countries.

If this trend doesnt stop the only jobs that will be left in this country are service jobs catering to all those rich guys who made unheard of profits making their products overseas.  All these companies need to be for America and making it strong, not about being selfish and lining their pockets with cash.

You have to make it so that its not rpofitable for companies to move jobs overseas, because obviously they wont stop doing on their own.

I feel sorry for every one of you who have kids, because there not gonna have jobs and neither will their kids, that is unless you consider working at burger king as a good job.  So all you guys keep defending these rich companies, because someday its gonna fall right in your own living room.

This isnt about Obama or McCain either, this is about saving our country before its destroyed.

Should we all be working for $12/hr. or better yet, make it affordable for Big Business and work for $6/hr.?

Am I the only one who finds this kind of thinking absurd?

Maybe we should start protecting American jobs and start punishing the thieves in the Big Business boardrooms.  

bravo outstanding post

I think what we have on this site is a bunch of young kids that dont truly understand what is happening before them and how its going to affect their lives down the road.  I also think there is some guys on this site who have the same mindset has big business and that is screw the worker, i wanna pay them the least slave wage humanly possible, so that they can make more profits.  It really does boil down to greed and being a friggin pig.  There just not happy making nice profits, they want every penny of the profits because in their minds its their businesses and nobody deserves any of it.

Am so sick of the mindset of people like this.

These guys are all gonna get their wish someday when their kids cant buy a house and start a family of their own because the wages they earn at burger king or mikey d's isnt enough to sustain them.
