America is about to make a horrible mistake all over again

117. Corporations are not altruistic.

Few have national loyalties, most are amoral, and would happily screw the entire world without hesitation to make a buck. They are, for the most part, run by and for the benefit of people who posses the attributes necessary to operate such enterprises. If reigning in the activities of such entities and restricting their power makes me a nationalist, I am proud to be one.

By the way, did you ever wonder why those non-union auto plants are profitable union plants in their own countries but not in the highly taxpayer subsidized American South, or why a pair of sneakers that cost $0.56 an hour to make in Vietnam sells for $100 in the US and could not sell for more if the cost of making them was $25 an hour in Vietnam or the US? Where are the savings to the American purchaser?

But what the hell, we took some kid out of a village rice paddy her ancestors have worked for centuries and put her in an urban sweatshop to work long hours for slave wages and wonder why 90,000 like her went on strike in March. Do you want to talk about the capitalist worker's paradise of Mexico?
