Why do we work harder than Germans?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

42. I'm not a good one to ask about immigration. I think Mexicans clearly are not occupying...

the jobs that were outsourced.

The numbers of jobs outsourced are merely estimates, since the U.S. Government so wisely DOES NOT REQUIRE corporations to divulge the number of jobs they outsource or have abroad.

In the year 2004, corporate America had already moved 400,000 good jobs abroad. In 2004, the estimate was that 15,000 good jobs PER MONTH being moved abroad by them. And that's with corporations being allowed to keep this secret, so the number might be twice as large.

We're now in 2012. It's no secret that jobs started becoming almost non-existent during Dubya's reign.

I'm no statistician, but I AM an observer. In Miami, the Miami Herald's Sunday section had in the 80s a job section that was oh, about 20 pages long. I began to notice that the Sunday jobs section of the Miami Herald was diminishing. By 2005 or so, the section was about 4 pages long. When I left Miami, in 2010, that Sunday section was ONE PAGE.

Factories in Hialeah had been shut down, industries in North Miami, in South Miami, in Miami proper, everywhere. And Miami doesn't have it as bad as some places, such as the Midwest, where there's a landscape of shutdown industries. Corporations have raped the U.S. but insist on selling us their foreign-made wares.

In my travels here in the U.S., I have also checked out the Sunday section of the jobs page, and other cities are doing equally bad.

Of course there are no jobs.

That has little to do with the Mexicans who pick potatoes and tomatoes and clean toilets. And while there are issues with immigration, the real evil behind our having no jobs lies with corporate America, the usual scumbag corporate America.
