Do corporations that send jobs overseas HATE America or what?
If you are a liberal, you have no doubt been told by a conservative "Since you hate America so much, why don't you just leave?"

Why not look at those who have already left though, and the ones who do threaten to leave?

Republicans say that if we don't cut taxes, then companies will move overseas, they themselves would leave America.

Doesn't this mean that they hate our country?

3. Bush did cut taxes
And the companies left anyway. McCain wants to continue the process, so that would mean that McCain hates America!

Next time you talk to repuke point this out, and stand back while their heads explode.:D

7. It's Greed
They don't like unions because they have to pay the people who make them rich. Slave labor is their goal. They can walk around all superior because they are rich, but what do they have to be proud of, really?
They try to get out of supporting this country by not paying taxes, by taking jobs out of the US, by hiding their money.
They take advantage of the government, but pretend they are a free enterprise company.
They pretend that welfare for the poor is different and somehow makes the people who need it inferior, while welfare to them and their corporations is honorable.

They are too self absorbed to hate the country. They don't even think of the country, except for what it can do for THEM.

6. Mammonism
Part of their core values is to treat consumers, workers and civil governments as THE ENEMY. Any pap that increases their confidence, self-esteem and profit margin is worth more than single real life or any person's actual welfare. America comes second as something their gigantic profits support and reward. The corporations peeled away may actually contain pure cynics who hate, disdain and rightly fear responsible democracy in essence, but feel good mechanisms have to have them clinging to something. Such pure cynics might well believe in looming catastrophes or disasters they are causing, but their instincts would be the same- to manipulate everything- even necessary changes- to their power and profit. Those concessions will doom countless people to death before they could even contemplate changing THEIR mind or ways. Too far, too far by miles into MacBeth's red sea. Religion, nation, family and humanity are just things to enhance profit, swell the soul with good feeling, blind the conscience to actual horror.

America for all their parroting of seemingly American ideals is a possession, their private game. And they will take the ball, whining, and go home, to their bank accounts, their MSM, their overseas pals who understand them. America is a just a pretty cover on their portfolio. When they lose what is inside they might remember their land, their family, their non-money roots.

9. No. But that never stops the Repukes from lying their ass off . .
. . . with the meme "taix the reeuch and they'll nawt HAhR!"

Um. Bullshit. And . . . yeah, Bullshit.

A sound economy depends on a sound middle class. You know, unless the rich think they can expand and thrive WITHOUT hiring and making everyone jobless.
