5. Soon America will be a country of super rich CEO's and Walmart employees.
Edited on Fri Oct-27-06 10:31 AM by cyberpj
Middle class jobs will become a luxury in America's new corporate, money-grubbing future unless Americans remember the power of organizing into unions and striking while it still hurts the billionaires to get decent wages and benefits.

And then those unions need to start working for American business employees in the third world countries that are already being exploited. Without these types of changes, like I said, American will soon be a country of billionaire CEO's and Walmart employees.

I'm not against exporting American business, but it could - and SHOULD - have been done while also exporting quality American business practices instead of exploiting the new country's lack of environmental laws and slave labor wages. Instead of bringing our wealth and prosperity to them, big business is intent on bringing their lower standards here - or at the very least, balancing DOWN instead of balancing UP.

It's just too sad for words, what corporations and their political pals are doing to this once great country. Sadly, America's best days are now behind her.
