U.S. companies hiring — but mostly overseas - Chicago Sun-Times


You can thank the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for this.

What is it that these uncaring, super-rich want from the average working man and women? Do they really want to turn the United States into a feudal system of land barons, and reduce the average citizens into peasant status? What could they possibly think how this country would look, should they continue the shipping of jobs overseas? What will they do when the people of the oppressive governments they do business with revolt, and demand a decent living wage? We have given them tax cuts and they have spat in the face of Americans by hording, and hiring cheap labor. They will fight to the death any legislative attempt at comprehensive immigration reform. After-all, they are the ones hiring undocumented workers in this country just to save a few more pennies.

This country has transformed from a manufacturing powerhouse, into an obese consumer industry. We know, and see our infrastructure crumbling across this nation. But just the slight mention of a tax increase in order for us to repair this crumbling, we remove the jelly doughnut from our obese mouths and scream, no way. We are in a "Cake and Eat it Too" society, and this cannot, and should not ever be the case. The middle class, lower middle class, and the working poor have sacrificed enough. The State of Florida just elected for governor a man that had to pay millions in fines for bilking Medicare. Now he proposes those on the roster of the unemployed, to do community service in order for the continuance of receiving such funds. When you think about that scenario, it reminds me of the old Soviet Union where people would sweep the streets in order for that communist system could brag about having zero unemployment. Such a proposal coming from a Republican? A Republican accused, and fined for Fraud no less.

So while you are thanking the U.S. Camber of Commerce, just ask yourself what will this country look like without repairing our infrastructure, and being "Forced" to sweep streets?
