Neoliberalism, My Ass

[seabeckind]

28. Looks like somebody shook (no pun intended) the crazy tree

This is a purely reaganomics rant. Reaganomics is not a political ideology, it is an economic ideology.

Neoliberalism is a bait and switch tactic. That's all it is. It is taking away worker rights on one hand while saying that increased profits help that worker's pensions. The switch part come by ignoring the fact that that worker's pension is taking a royal hit because of his reduced earnings. Some other guy is the one whose portfolio is fattened.

TPP is exactly the same argument. Free trade controlled by the corporations doing the trading is good for American workers because it will make the things they buy cheaper.

Think about that for a while. What American workers? What are they working on if not products other workers need?

It's reaganomics.

(Oh, forgot) The crazy reference came when I googled the author. He's an internet shock jock. I couldn't copy some of the stuff he has said but quite a few called him a "world class moron" for some of his other comments.
