taxes, unions, and benefits to workers so that's why the out source?
Anyone see the COSTCO special on 20/20 last night? Makes you just want to puke about the other companies hiring illegals and buying on the cheap from China and other slave-labor countries.
My god, the only thing that matters to these people is not earning a reasonable profit but the bottom line for stock. Those among the biggest whiners about taxes and benefits to workers pay multimillions to their CEOs without blinking an eye.
It really is sickening. This country's standard of living was highest in the world because of the rights and wages of its workers thanks to unions and government regulations. Now we are to believe that those very same things hurt us? I don't get it. Everything is relative. I don't mind paying higher prices if I earn higher wages and have good benefits. I was amazed to learn today also that most of the bankrupticies in this country are the result of medical expenses that take such a toll because we do not have any healthcare insurance system for our citizens.
When will people wake up in this country and stop buying the corporate sleazeball carping?
