In reply to the discussion: Is This Why Romney Won't Talk to Sensata Workers Whose Jobs Are Being Shipped to China? - TruthOut [View all]Egalitarian Thug
(12,448 posts)has $50M or $50B, it doesn't really matter because the solutions all entail those people putting a lot of those millions and billions back into the pockets of the people who actually do the work, and nobody in that class is ever going to advocate that.
The people not of that class lack even a vague notion of what the parasite class has or how they live. It is very literally a completely different world, one that most of us don't even know exists. They don't get that everybody they hear or see talking to them about these matters, no matter which side they're on, has far more in common with Mitt Rmoney, for example, than they do with them.
There are a couple of extremely rare exceptions, Michael Moore is one, Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow might be others, but on the whole everyone we listen to, watch, and trust to tell us what's what is a member of the class of people that stay on top by keeping us down.
I don't know if the President has any stake in Sensata and if he does, he is probably not aware of it, but that is beside the point. We live in a system where the game is rigged, not just a little, but completely, to keep the winners winning and the suckers paying.
