Reply #135: The US economy

[sulphurdunn]

has gone to hell because of conscious political and economic decisions to liquidate the nations manufacturing base in the pursuit of cheap labor, higher profits, weak environmental regulations, low taxes and the extermination of organized labor. The same financial interests that bankrolled this business model created "globalization" to serve those ends. Your arguments are pure bullshit, mere rationalizations that blame the victims rather than the perpetrators.

Furthermore, all globalization has done for countries like India and China is to create a huge class of industrial slave labor, a tiny professional middle class, a few billionaires and hundreds of millions of people who are worse off than they were before the blessings of global exploitation descended upon them.
